%100 RAM and computer freezes (unusable) after being idle for a while

[Elliott Game]

Hi, I've already posted about the issue and landed on the idea that it was due to a memory leak, a restart fixed it.

 

However, I notice that everytime I leave my computer idle for a little while come back, notice a scan has been done, I can't move my mouse normally and the computer is literally running at 0.0001 FPS (mouse movement wise)

 

Here are some screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/7bcwf

 

this happens all of the time for some reason, and I wonder if its due to my Anti-Virus (Norton). Note that my computer has never done this until recently (a week ago) and its really starting to piss me off...

 

Note also: I've ran a scan with MBAM and it found nothing, I also have had this computer for a while and the HDD is starting to die (read/write speeds are slow as shit)

 

 

anyways, any comments are appreciated, thanks.

Download Piriform speccy and check the drive's SMART, or use another tool that does the same. Also, specs?

on the HDD: everything is good (according to the program)

I cant believe that a failing HDD would cause a memory usage like that.

 

First try to reboot the system into safe mode and see what your system RAM utilization is after that.

 

If your RAM usage in safe mode is under 2gb doing absolutely nothing. Then you have a program that either is open (I saw opera was listed several times in your task manager). Or you have something running in the background that may OR may not be malicious.

Run MemTest86+.

He said the HDD was slow...

He said the HDD was slow...

Yes, he said it was dying.

 

But it appears as if he may have another problem since the picture he had linked showed almost 100% RAM utilization. This should not occur even with a failing HDD unless he is running something quite resource intensive.
