High Non-Paged Pool

In the past two or so months I have noticed high ram usage out of my 16 gig kit. I only casualy game and I do some CAD, but never before did I reach 80-90 percent. Using Ram Map I found that The non page pool was the culprit. I would normally fix it by shutting down my computer and resetting the ram. I am asking if any one of you know how to fix this problem permanently.

What is non paged supposed to be?

what process is consuming all your ram? can you take a screenshot of the processes tab with highest ram applications sorted first

If you look at the RamMap you can see what is taking up the most ram, but here is a screen shot anyways:

Turn off memory compression and see if it happens again.

This might sound dumb, but how do i do that?

I have no idea, I thought it might be some tool you´re running.

 

The nonpaged memory is probably free memory which, for unknown reasons, doesn´t show up as free.  You´d have to test with a program that eats memory to see if that memory suddenly gets used.  So I´d suspect that memory compression messes up the memory such that it gets cluttered much more than usual, and perhaps there´s a bug which leads to not freeing that memory but making it somehow nonpaged instead.

 

Besides, I´m also wondering why you don´t have any hugepages.
