Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause My recommendation is to suck it up because you have now spent way more time on this problem than if you had just done it a while ago when it became evident that you weren't going to find the issue. Windows installs are 100% accessible and, if you're worried about audio device drivers, you can get USB audio adapters off Amazon for $10.

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause If this continues, I'm not going to have much of a choice; I'll have to reinstall. If I do reinstall, though, I'm worried that the problem will then become audio drivers. I'm not sure if this is applicable for clean installs, however I did uninstall the Realtek Audio Drivers a while back and found that audio devices would not switch unless I rebooted my machine. I don't want to go through that every time I switch audio devices, but I will if it means I get a machine that isn't going to have memory problems all over the place. Has anyone had experience like this? If so, do you have any recommendations?

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause This does involve getting a copy of windows through microsoft using the media creation tool, burning it to a stick, wiping your partition on boot into the PE, and installing.

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause @42Drivers are going to sort themselves out without you having to do anything. you might eventually want to download the ones from Dell, but Windows will almost always find all of the drivers by itself these days, usually through more official sources than your vendor. In fact getting rid of audio drivers from insert-manufacturer solves problems for a lot of people.If you're really worried, have a USB keyboard and USb audio device on hand; Windows will definitely find the drivers for those if you plug them in. Same for an external monitor. But my money is on you reinstalling Windows from something official and it just working fine without doing anything else.

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause Here's an example. After I had opened two word documents that I was working out of, My physical RAM was at around 20%. After an hour of switching back and forth between the documents as I completed homework, my RAM sat at about 95% usage. When I closed out word, my RAM looked like this:Physical: 29.81 GB of 31.73 GB used (93.9%). Virtual: 64.90 GB of 74.16 GB used (87.5%).even when I add processes up, I don't see anything in Task Manager that could be taking 95% of 32 GB of RAM, and I certainly don't see anything that would cause my virtual RAM to be holding at 65 GB. I've checked my antivirus software, I've scanned for malware, I've looked into the services running, I've ensured that fast startup is off, I've checked Windows Update, and I've checked my network. I've held off on disabling sysmain because I don't want to go pulling the plug on random Windows services unless I have a good reason to do so, and sysmain doesn't appear to be causing my problems according to Task Manager. Is this an accurate assessment? Would sysmain show up in Task Manager? Is there anything else that you can suggest short of reinstalling Windows completely?

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause It seems that my RAM is going up when I navigate through or between virtual documents while using NVDA, but that's odd. Shouldn't NVDA manage RAM better than that? Also, NVDA's RAM usage statistics don't show an appreciable increase in RAM usage to account for these massive RAM spikes.

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause I have clean installed Windows many times, and this hasn't been a problem with Windows 10. 7, yeah, to some extent. This is much more a function of how much stuff you decide to install. Get a few bad uninstallers that leave a service around or something and, well... Just only putting what you need on the computer rather than anything that happens to interest you at the time and not playing with advanced settings goes a long way.

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause You can disable sysmain (or previously superfetch). It's a Windows service that tries to guess what you will open based off your habbits and will preload those stuff in RAM to increase performance. I personally find it very annoying.Also, @23, that sounds like a virus. You could've used another program other than task manager to inspect the processes and resources. I'm guessing the virus would be scanning for taskmgr. An anti-virus is just looking at files, fingerprint them and look them up against a virus database to see if it's a known threat. Some more advanced can scan your outbound network activities and do other fancy stuff. All that to say an anti-virus will not catch everything. The problem is that virus are just regular programs that do something you don't want them to, so it's hard to flag them without too much false positive / false negative.If you suspect your computer is compromised, it is advised to reinstall a fresh OS anyway. It is not garanteed it will wipe the virus, but it is very likely. Very few viruses are able to persist through a OS reinstall.

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause Oh man I cant imagine two Antiviruses scanning each other .Anyways I've had this weird issue a month ago where the ram just suddenly gets to 6GB of usage even though I have no apps running, like, nothing at all, I've also noticed the virtual ram stuck at 31GB even though I've manually changed it from the settings which, was, weird, done a scan and there wasn't really anything, oh and also the computer fan would go crazy at that time, but here's the weirdest part, as soon as I open the task manager, the computer fan would go quiet, the ram usage would return to normal, only until I close it again it would go back up and start going crazy again, well, not immediately, just after a few minutes, it sounded like there was that smart ass virus that was doing a certain thing and it didn't want me finding out what's using up all that ram so it would calm down as soon as I open the task manager, but that's strange, because if it would have been a virus windows defender would have detected it, but that wasn't the case at that time, so I kept using the computer for a while, then I did a system reset, wiping all the files and programs, including windows off the SSD, then installing a fresh copy of windows, only then the computer had become normal again, not to mention I've searched google a thousand times and I couldn't find anything that is related to my problem, so yeah, that's that URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/594555/#p594555 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause Actually so, just going to throw out there that you might try switching to Windows Defender. You really don't need two antiviruses and I wouldn't be surprised if this entire thing turns into they both decided to do some sort of scan at once using hooks into the system that don't show up in task manager or something like that--for instance, what if they're both scanning each other? That could get fun.

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause You could try a process of elimination. Does it do this when you have nothing open? Or when certain programs are left open? It may be nothing but, I have noticed some odd behavior with firefox over the past few months. When certain webpages are left open for prolonged periods of time they seem to suck an excess amount of resources. Part of me wonder's if someones compromised things like the ad-blocker plugins or are surreptitiously [mining bitcoin] in the background.

Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Re: Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause Try using the Windows 7 Task Manager from Winarrow. It actually shows you all processes, that way you can see if a Windows process is, in fact, using a lot of RAM.

Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause
Ridiculously High RAM Usage With NO Apparent Cause Every once in a while, I'll notice my RAM usage sitting around 95% of 32 GB. However, when looking in Task manager, I can't find an apparent cause for this ridiculous amount of RAM usage. I have a Dell XPS 15 7590. I generally run Malwarebytes, NVDA, Firefox, Discord and Foobar2000 on my system. If anyone can point me in the direction of some solutions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
