Hello , friends . I have a problem with my RAM usage . I am running a dul monitor setup and when i turn on my PC with only geforce experience and my antivirus running at the background , i am getting aroun 60 % ram usage ( btw i have 2 x 4  GB dual channel 2133 MHz ram sticks ) . I don't know why im getting this , because i checked task manager and GeForce Experience and my antivirus are using total of 10 MB of ram . Because of this high usage i am getting freezes when im browsing on internet and when im switching betwwen the monitors ( I THINK ) . I am using Windows 10 and this issue appeared after the last update which was pretty big ( Around 300 mb's ) . Please share your thoughts . Thanks :)

Is your ram hitting 100% usage.

If it isn't then it isn't a ram issue that is causing freezes, but could be a cpu/hdd issue.

 

Try running a virus scan, or reinstall windows.

Hello , it isnt hitting 100 % but at the msot of the time it is like 95-98 % whn im using google chrome , when im not its like 90 % . I dont know it happened after the update on windows , and i dont think it is a hdd or cpu problem because my windows is installed on my ssd and my cpu is getting just around 10 % maximum so :)

Every one of those programs on task manager is a program that is running.

 

Also make sure no other users are still logged into the computer, that will increase ram usage.

 

If not most likely have a virus with that high of ram useage, run a virus scan.

Under performance tab open resource monitor, then click memory tab.
