%100 RAM usage and there is nothing coming up in taskmanager

[Elliott Game]

hi LTT, since my computer is literally unusable I will reply with the screenshots of the issue in the comments section.

 

 

Anyways, when I got back to my PC after a bit, I noticed my computer literally stopped working, after waiting 5 mins I started to get the mouse cursor to move.

I opened up task manager to see what was using up all of the RAM and I couldn't see anything, even when I tick to view processed from all users, still nothing (as seen in the screenshots below)

 

So please, help diagnose my issue....

 

thanks!

How much ram does your computer register?

Hmm, try stopping programs until you find the one with the memory leak.

Ofc avoiding ones windows needs.

Have you ran a malware program?

ohhhh, so is this issue caused by a memory leak?

[Elliott Game]

Have you ran a malware program?

I did a scan earlier (with norton) and nothing came up, but I'll give it a hit with mbam...

I'm just gonna restart and see the results....

I will also update the results after about an hour... thanks for the replies however I think its just a memory leak (probably from AV doing an idle scan or something like that...)

I think it is either a leak or a virus/malware. But even then it looks more like a leak then 1 + 1 = 2.

yea, I've never really had an issue with memory leaks, but I doubt its a rootkit or virus as I downloaded nothing that day...

most of the time I get lag after I come back after a while of my dying HDD taking the hit of the idle AV scan.

 

Anyways, I'll update you when my computer starts back up (I'm using a laptop to type this not my desktop which is experiencing the issues)

also, just for more info: a few minutes before the RAM blew up it was sitting at just lower than 2 gig, when I checked backafter a while, it blew up to 7.7 gigs

Wow.

[Elliott Game]

Wow.

update: after rebooting seems normal, will give another update in half an hour on the usage.

(if it seems all normal than we'll just label it as a memory leak)
