physical memory
i own a A21 M? thinkpad by IBM, it was handed down to me, but i dont use it for much. it occasionally shuts itself down after it deletes its physical memory.
anyways, what is physical memory?
how does it "get low"
how do you boost its amount?
i've deleted some useless programs that are useless to me, but it still occurs.

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
physical memory is actually your RAM, so deleting programs really wont help. first thing you need to do is get rid of things you dont use in your startup list. depending on which version of windows you have, there are different processes. basically, dont run as many progams at once, and it shouldnt happen. the way to boost the ammount, other than buying more RAM, is also different depending on which version of windows you have, but it should be somewhere in your control panel. somewhere in system, under system properties, click advanced, try to find something labeled "virtual memory" i have mine set to 4000, if your computer is old, it might not be able to handle a paging file that big so set it to something like 2000.

well you must have a problem if it deletes its memory. physical memory, is just the memory it has on the hardrive, etc. The amount available to hold memory rather.
when it gets low, its when it can't hold that much more data
maybe its lagging on how long its taking to delete those programs.
then again, you may have deleted a vital part
useless stuff, can appear useless-but be very useful
