Yeah I basically got a pre built PC and we'll everything in it was crap I've replaced most of it but not the ram motherboard or CPU

I'm now getting a problem ,since the week end that I don't have enough memory

I have 6gb though but I can end using 90%on desktop according to rain meter and task manager I don't know if this is a bug but it didn't happen before and it's a pain in the ass so if someone knows how to fix it please help

or if you've heard of it or maybe know why it's doing this then please tell me too

Thanks

Look in task manager and see if there is a program using more ram than it should, if it's not a windows application, end the process.

Is not a virus you have background tasks open like defragmentation..virus scan..and so on

I have 12GB and with Chrome open with 5-10 tabs while playing a game at the same time I get the Low Memory (85%) warning

yeah there isnt anything that isnt using more ram than it should be an ive ran lots of anti virus things like malwarebytes and stuffs and then some times its fine for ram usage, like just the now im at the normal for ram usage but this morning when i was downloading titanfall it blacked out my screen and changed the resolution when it didnt have enough ram and all it was doing was downloading which ive done plenty of times before, so i dont know why its doing it.

im thinking its crappy ram or some bug

that might be it, it isnt always using 90 % of the ram on desktop only sometimes but its only started doing that since last weekend so im not sure
