No errors sice then, all seems to be good

PHP shouldn't require that much RAM.

I increased the php memory limit from System/Advanced/Miscellaneous/PHP Settings.
I have 32GB memory though so I have plenty to spare.

That could be some page that tried to open something huge. Or a command run via the gui command prompt perhaps.
