Hey there,

 

I recently started having a problem with my pc. Sometimes after a few hours of using my pc it slows down. When I look at the task manager there is this thing called ''System and compressed memory'' and it takes up 99% of my memory usage. I don't know what causes it to do this. Please leave suggestions to what it might be or how I can solve it. 

 

Thanks

I've heard it's what windows does to compress down all the memory used by everything or something like that. Someone correct me please. Also, it might be a memory leak or something.

You're going to want to reinstall Windows.  I'm banking on malware.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Also, I forgot to add. When this problem occurs and I try to shut down my pc the monitor goes black for a few seconds, but then the pc does not shut down but it acts like it restarted.

Holy moly! Yeah, I have to agree with Jeffery here, that windows install needs to die in a fire (Even if it's some sort of bug rather than malware). 16GB is almost overkill so your problem is certainly not with that. 

Grab your important personal files then nuke the thing to hell. 

I edit my posts a lot.
