OutOfVideoMemoryException

[Mast10]

Sometimes when I start my game I receive a OutOfVideoMemoryException.
Any way to free your memory again?

See my answer here.
Reducing texture size may help.

The weird thing is that the first few times it renders well but at a cerain time it just leaves the textures blank and gives 3d errors.
Is this a memory leak? And if it is is there a way to clear the video memory manualy?

Well, I don't think it's a leak but you can try to profile your game with perfhud and see the video memory graph.
There is a method in DX to flush managed memory resources but I'm not sure it will help you much in this case. Try to reduce texture size.
