I doubt then incresing the physical memory and also memory allocated for the web server are the only options. and i strongly suggest you to profle your application for any memory leaks (or does it has lots of stuff that its using 500 mb of memory) i dont know what kind of application is that you working on so i cant say ... Thanks Lisa

I have concerned about increasing the memory but I have cek that the service process memory usage is about 500 MB PF Usage is about 800 MB and My server memory is 2GB. the Error Message System.OutOfMemory was Thrown is appear when the usage memory of my service is going up to 500 MB.

threads definetely do take a lot of memory u can try few things like increasing the memory (RAM) and increasing the memory allocated to the webserver the application is hosted on. check also your application if there are any leakages.. that can help too. Thanks Lisa

Hi Base on the informatio you provide one thing is sure that you are running out of memory. You can clean up your harddrive by deleting unwanted tmp files and check what is eating the memory in the task manager. You can also think of improving your hardware increasing RAM. etc.
