90-100% RAM USAGE! HELP!

[b3rt1l]

So sometimes, just randomly my ram usage goes up to like 90-100%. I have no idea why. I have tried the regedit fix... If there is any way to fix this. I have 8gb of 1866mhz kingston ram overclocked to 2666mhz stable at 1,8V. If there is more ways in the regedit it woul dbe nice to know. I can't play any games... 

Thanks in advance

1.8V seems a little high

open task manager and see what is causing those sudden spikes..

I think it's fun. It has been running stable for 1 and a half week now so. But that is not the point. I can't play ay of my games and it's annoying me. And it's slow opening programs and such.

Might be fallout 4 reasons, which is an exception to the rule

1.8V on DRAM?!

Slow death for the Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) much?

 

DDR3 1866 MHz overclocked to DDR3 2666 MHz; there is a small chance your problem is caused by your overclock.

(pushing the DRAM MOSFET's beyond it's linear operating region, and may be causing it to be stuck in saturation -- at an Engineering standpoint)

 

For the sake of troubleshooting, put your overclock BACK down to stock, and see if the problem remains. If it doesn't, then your overclock is doing the harm. Otherwise, the problem lies elsewhere...but at least we've eliminated your DRAM being the cause.

why is everything 32bit

Lower it back down to stock and see if the issue persists. IF so you may have a malware or something causing your Ram usage to skyrocket, or a program is running heavily. Remember 8 GB of ram is not all that much now adays, As you can see that spotify can use quite a bit itself. What is that CAM program though i havent seen that one before, is it a webcam?

Yes, I am noticing that as well.

@b3rt1l, you aren't running a 32-bit Operating System, are you?

[b3rt1l]

NZXTs monitoring softwar, using it's in game overlay that shows Cpu usage and temps, Memory usage, Min, Avg and max fps, GPU usage, teamps and Vram usage.It was all running fine 1 hour ago so yeah...

No. 64-bit legit copy of Windows 8.1

If it shows 32-bit next to it, that means the program is running in 32-bit mode on 64-bit windows...Check your own task manager

Dialed the ram down to completely stock 1333mhz at normal 1.5V. I can't enable xmp so this is stock in my case. Usage went from 90% to 95%.

:facepalm: If it shows 32-bit next to it, that means the program is running in 32-bit mode on 64-bit windows...Check your own task manager lol

 

I have Spotify ad Skype on my own PC's, and I do believe they have 64-bit versions.

I know for a fact, Steam is still 32-bit, and for the time being, there is no rush to have a 64-bit variant available.

@b3rt1l

Have you determined what is the cause of the high RAM usage?

 

The "Process" tab might not show everything that is running on the system. I find that to be the case sometimes with Windows 8/8.1 and 10.

NOTE: In the screenshots, I am on Windows 10.

 

Instead, go to the "Users" tab and expand that out.

Arrange everything high to low memory usage. While you are there, make sure other user profiles (if you share a PC) is not hogging up the memory.

You can also go into the "Details" tab and check your memory usage there as well.

Again, sort from high to low memory usage.

It seems it was caused by Gigabytes APPCenter with easytune and such. Found some things about it here and uninstalled it and deleted the folder. Now back down in ram usage. If it comes back i will mention it.
