Ram problems, (repost from troubleshooting)

[Cyrus]

Looking for some extra help in this subforum

 

So i have 16 gigs of ram and all of a sudden the pc has been using 99% of the ram at all time,

the problem is that the usage is 99% even when all applications are closed. 

 

If i restart the pc the ram usage goes down again but as fast as i start a program and lets say

the ram goes from 0 to 20% the ram usage never gets released so it will never go below 20% until

i restart the pc.

 

Im using windows 10, are there any fixes for this problem?

Some pictures below.

Click the ram tab on task manager so it sorts by which is using the most ram, could be a windows service thats hogging it all.

Have you tried running malwarebytes or an anti-virus also?

Go to the "details" tab, which in your language I assume is the "Information" one. Sort by ram here.

Go to performance and under memory ensure that you truly have 16Gb installed. 

 

If you do then try to open something that's more the 8Gb of ram to see if its a glitch in the task manager.

Now the computer has started freezing itself, don't know what to do really can not find the source that is eating the ram.

Ran the same command just now and it came up with the same thing. Try using "NDU.sys" (The product name is "Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring Driver") to continue on to Using WPT from Windows SDK. If that fails I'd format from BIOS and reinstall everything. Reinstall each driver one by one.

 

Unfortunately this is a bit of a dated solution

 

I found this video that may be helpful. Its a bit more up to date
