CONTEXT
Why this comes up
NVIDIA’s LM Studio troubleshooting guide describes memory issues that can occur on DGX Spark even within the system’s stated memory capacity.
THE USEFUL LESSON
Physical capacity, available memory and the way a runtime uses unified memory are different things. Record the software environment and system state before concluding that the hardware cannot run a model.
ON YOUR MACHINE
What to record and test
- 01
Record the exact model file, quantization, context setting, runtime version and OS.
- 02
Check what is already using memory, including other applications and model servers.
- 03
Compare a clean model load with the failing state. Preserve the error and memory observations.
- 04
Follow the current vendor troubleshooting guidance; record which intervention helped and whether the issue returns.
