Disabling the (execute disable bit) xd bit in bios and disabling the virtual machine options in bios appears to greatly have improved these issues (at least for now) there arent many bios options on this motherboard (including none at all for the ram) and at present I am not sure which of these has improved the situation, but, it seems much improved.
This particular pc seems to use excessive memory using most kernals, compared to my other 2 computers running mint 18.3, this seems to have helped quite a bit (at least for now). I have also tried different memory sticks, just in case, with no improvement. Previously this machine was sometimes using the full 4 gb of ram within an hour and not correctly releasing the memory when quitting programs, it then slowed to virtually a stop. At the moment I have a few things open including my browser and still have 2.7 gb of memory free still, after, just under 4 1/2 hours, so, on the face of it, it seems to have improved, I have also reverted to kernal 4.13.0-32. Not sure if any of this info is of any use, but, this seems to have helped my situation and has made this pc usable now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900395 Title: Memory Leak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1900395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
