Apps running out of memory????

[Ohotybird2]

Please assist - My late 2013 MacBook Pro bought in middle 2014 is lately giving me messages that it is running out of memory when I have Illustrator CC 2017 & also Photoshop CC 2017 open - forcing me to quit the apps in the Activity Monitor.

This is a huge frustration!!!

What could the problem be and how can it be sorted?

I am not a techie!

This is now a total mess!!!

I restarted in safe mode and the screen vibrates

Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware

AI give me a black screen with strange 2 strange file name in the top right hand corner

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Ohotybird2 you may want to consider also posting to the Illustrator forum at Illustrator to see if there are any additional Illustrator specific steps that the might resolve the application from running out of memory.
