"System.OutOfMemoryException"/Desktop keeps crashing
Every time I open a previously created report in desktop, which was running fine during the same session as it was created (using ~160MB of memory), Power BI desktop's memory usage increases rapidly ...
Hello friend,
Did you get the solution to the issue you are facing?
As I am also facing the issue "System.OutOfMemoryException".
Please help in case you have the solution to this.
Thanks in advance

Anonymous Try fully uninstalling Power BI and reinstalling. Or try uploading the file to service and then redownloading it to desktop
I don't know if its the same issue as I found, but we got the same result when trying to read from an Excel file containign a table. Turns out the source system had created the table with all the empty columns in the Excel sheet as columns; over 16,000 of them! Once the spurious columns were deleted from the table it worked fine.
- I am getting crashes in just about every PowerBI doc I open in the last 3-4 days. I haven't changed anything hardware wise. Before these 3-4 days it was running fine. The problem appears to occure where I am either adding some calculated columns, sometimes when trying to publish (although it does publish successfully it then creashes out with the reason of systemmemory).
I too am using 32bit to ensure it is compatible with 32bit Office that our company use (I don't know why head of IT in companies insist on 32bit, it's at every company I go to). The crashes happen even before 100% of the RAM is taken up.
I have tried the docs on a completely different machine (granted, also with extra RAM, but shouldn't make a difference in 32bit mode?) and it runs perfectly fine, just like it use to on this system.
