High RAM usage issue.

[Jack Dvorak]

I don't understand how I have 8gb of ram and this is occuring. It is lagging me out in every game I ever play. What can I do. RAM cleaners do not work...

Do you have dedicated video card or use integrated one?

RX 580 8gb is my gpu.

Then my idea is the same as firewrath9 - other accounts. And then some stupid idea, do you use 64 bit operating system or 32?

i.e. another use also logged on to PC, but didn't log out fully and their windows are still running in background.

Exactly.BTW do you use 64 bit operating system or 32?

my first guess would be memory leaks if you happen to be one of those people who never reboots their system.

64

i'll answer that for you: 64 bit, because task manager is identifying 32 bit applications as such.

I fully shut down my system every night then I boot it up in the afternoon to play on.

You rams might be failing. But you should run Malwarebytes first.

it says 6,1 gb used, but your task manager does not show that much usage.

"lol" thats not how task manager works, unfortunately..

 

adding up the programs using ram does not equal the amount of used system memory in windows -for some reason-.

 

please be actually right when you "lol".

thats usually the case. windows is dum like that.

 

i'd search in the direction of background programs, or issues with windows services.

I would run malwarebytes at first.

add your favourite antivirus to that list, along with sfc /scannow to make sure windows is healthy (enough).

 

my guess is malwarebytes wont find much, if anything noteworthy in this case.

Please don't comment unless you know what you're talking about. Thank you!

Non paged pool is too high. It should normally float below 500MB. This is indication of a leaky driver, and most likely the network driver from when I've seen this happen. If you update it, the problem should go away.

it actually does work that as long as you don't have hidden process or processes running under a seperate user
