Short description of error
I'm trying to bake all of the smoke domains, but after the 10th domain baked successfully, the eleventh started producing crashes. Somehow I managed to bake 4 more but the 15th domain cannot complete it. (there are 16 smoke domains)
To my knowledge, my drive has enough space, the resolution of the domain is not that high (128), and I have 16 GB ddr3 ram so I think that should not be a problem.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the attachled blend file: Click on the second smoke domain from the right and try to bake it. It starts baking, but after some time (it was always random at which percent) it crashes.

I wasn't able to reproduce the crash. Can you double check if system runs out of memory by looking at task manager?

Okay, so I was looking at the task manager and exactly when the crash happened, the GPU jumped up from 30% to 100%. I guess the GPU was the problem. But I still don't know what could cause this, a system service was using the GPU the whole time, and it was jumping between 28 and 32%. I've never had any issues with the GPU when using Blender, CPU was a much bigger problem. What should I do to research what caused the huge jump?

Do you mean GPU memory usage? Were you in rendered mode while baking domain? Can you confirm, that RAM usage was normal?

Probably best way to check though, would be to download latest alpha build from https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/, run file blender_debug_log.cmd and after crash upload debug_log.txt file. This won't tell if crash happened due to low memory. But if the issue is different at least will have more info to work with hopefully.
