Windows 10 Memory issue and BSOD

[Toxiic]

Hi guys. I've upgraded to Windows 10 and yesterday, I noticed that my memory usage on idle was at 5.0GB (out of 8GB) which seemed incredibly high. No programs were taking up any where near 5GB and I couldn't figure it out. Around 30 mins ago today, I got the BSOD: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. I was unable to get a screenshot of the task manager as I didn't think about it at that time.

 

I had a memory leak before on Windows 8.1 which makes me think that a program like Google Chrome isn't releasing it's memory. But I have no clue how to sort it.

 

These are the links to the BSOD Report and the Perfmon /Report files. If you need any more information just ask!

Hoping someone will have an answer?

Might be a corrupted installation, try "refreshing" the Windows 10 install. It's in the settings.

This was my plan but I was hoping that I didn't have to. I'll give this a shot soon.

 

(My system just froze and became unresponsive just now... might do the refresh sooner rather than later).

Hi again, sorry for the late response.

 

I attempted to reset my pc through the Windows 10 settings and after it had finnished, windows was unable to start and i got the error message: Windows did not start correctly.

Because of this I was forced to undo the changes.

 

I would try to do a clean install but I'm not sure what Product key i would use as I used the free upgrade option.

 

Cheers.

I never tried a clean install on Windows 10 so I'm not sure of this answer;

but it seems according to what I found online that it will reactivate on it's own if it's connected to your MS account on the same hardware.

My plan is to format my SSD containing Windows 10 and do a clean install and hope for the best.

 

I've had too many errors with bloody Windows in the past month, really making me consider changing my OS.

 

Cheers for the reply!

I seem to have sorted my issue. I believe it was one of the Killer drivers. I'll post a full solution tomorrow but I disabled something in the Registry and manually updated my drivers for my E2200 controller.

You can check your current Windows 10 product key with ProduKey , google it, It's a free program. 
Then you can clean install your windows 10, with an official iso provided by microsoft.

Ah, I wondered how i'd go about doing that. Thanks!

 

I figured out the issue, seemed to be a faulty driver. I'll post my fix tomorrow when I wake up.
