" TempDB" space error

I noticed the following error
Error 1101, Serverity: 17, State: 10
Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There
are no more pages available in filegroup Default. space
can be create by dorpping objects, adding additional file
or allowing file growth."
Now our " TempDB" is configured with auto filegrowth and
the drive has enogh free space (say more than 20G).
Current TempDB datafile 3G, logfile 1M ( ? is this problem)
Not sure why we got this error. Please help take a look.Thanks john,
I think that's the key. put log as 1M, even though 10%
increase each time, still could not catch up with
transaction.
I will put more. thanks.
