freeing physical memory.

I have 512 MB of total physical memory and my sys info I have 181 MB of physical memory left available shows.  I have 2 GB of virtual memory total with 1.96 GB available left. page file space 1.20 GB is.

My computer seems really slow and I did all the viruses with microsoft and webroot and its own projections. I have cleaned and defragmented disk and seems to cling to certain times and especially if you click on frown again on a page "hung up". It will giveyou the hourglass effect and will not respond. Any other suggestions to make? I have XP Edition family sp3 and all updates for windows explorer 8. Thank you!

Looks like you have lots of RAM. But if you want to double-check, skip to #4 below.

Brand and model of the PC? XP Home or Pro, or MCE? What are you doing SP level to? Have you installed XP security update patches? What security programs (antivirus, other antimalware, firewall, etc.) are you running? Are they up-to-date?

Here are the usual causes of slow:

1. malware (malware). You need to rule out first! This page has excellent information:

http://Web.archive.org/Web/20080610163247/http :// www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

2. some programs aimed at combating malware (for example, Norton and McAfee). Ironically, they can slow things down because they use simply much too many resources. Sometimes they cause conflicts with other programs. And their default mode is to scan your entire hard drive whenever you start. Fortunately, there are other programs of anti-malware software available that use much less resources (p. ex., NOD32, Avast and Avira).

3. too much of certain types of programs still running in background - with or without your consent. (Then again, a lot of programs running in the background of the consequences trivial.)

To determine each program and process, you are running, use the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager and click the processes tab. You should be able to sort by CPU usage or memory usage for a good ideas that are resource/memory hogs. You must write the names of all the processes for future detective work (or take a snapshot and print it).

Use these sites to determine what these programs are, and learn how configure them to not always run when starting:

http://www.PACS-portal.co.UK/startup_content.php#THE_PROGRAMS
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
http://www.AnswersThatWork.com/Tasklist_pages/Tasklist.htm

Sometimes, it is recommended to use msconfig to configure programs to run at startup. A better, more thorough program is Autoruns:

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

But before that, you must use the settings preference of the program in question. Otherwise, for some programs, they will return to the list of startup anyway!

If you do not want to use msconfig, it can be accessed in this way:

Start | Run | Type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Enter (or OK)

4. not enough RAM, causing the PC too rely on the pagefile. A quick way to determine if what is happening is to open (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. In case you want to study it more, you can run the Page queue Monitor for Windows XP:

http://www.dougknox.com/XP/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

5. you can also verify that the access mode of your hard drive has not changed from DMA to PIO:

    Hello

    In general the BSOD is the product of the problem of hardware or software problem. To check if it of software or hardware associated with deliver its necessary to reinstall the OS and check if the BSOD will appear using the new OS preinstalled.
    Of course, it s painful to do that because the recovery procedure would format the HARD drive and therefore the data backup is necessary!

    I don t think that the different input voltage might affect the functionality of the laptop computer because the laptop uses the universal adapter that supports entry 100V-240V.

    BSOD can be caused by faulty memory modules so I think that this test of memory could be useful also

  • Slow down the Satellite C660 - physical memory 93%

    Hello

    Asked me to replace a screen on my Satellite C660 sons, of whom one.
    After testing the laptop, I noticed that it was incredible slow. I asked him why he was so slow, and he says he was always slow because he bought 10 months ago to Argos (it s her first laptop and it is not very computer savvy)

    In any case, I ran a scam and spyware anti-virus and nothing was found.
    So I decided to do a factory reset (f8) but the problem is still there.
    My other son who lives with me as the same laptop (only difference is a pro) and the difference between then as night and day.

    I noticed that physical memory is always about 93% without anything running in the Task Manager and its fan is constantly every minute or so.

    Suggestions regards D

    What is the exact model number Satellite C660-xxx
    RAM memory how this laptop stand?

    For most system runs slowly because of the high amount of processes that are running in the background.
    It s advisable to check the MSCONFIG Startup tab and disable some really important processes.
    I also recommend cleaning with CCLeaner system and possibly the RAM should be improved if it s too low.

  • BlueScreen: Physical memory dump

    Yes, until recently (18-20 November) my phone worked relatively well. I had a few updates around the 10 that I was not being updated with, and having done, I started to receive discharges of physical memory. My first solution was restoring to before I updated my computer, which worked. I reinstalled my updates after a good 4-5 hours, but ends up with the blue screen 10 minutes after a session shortly after. I looked at the thread of August, but these updates caused no memory dumps. On the side, I removed the update causing a bluescreen different I still have to meet, and I don't know if it's the Manager of my dump (KB9XXXXX, lost the related forum). I also try to avoid that at ALL COSTS because I know that damage dumps physical memory can make a computer to test.

    And somehow my question of Windows Vista to put in Windows 7... ?

    CriticalComp,
    Here are a few things I would say.

    Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic to ensure that there is not a problem with the RAM.

    And then perform a clean boot and test.  This can help determine if there is a conflict with a 3rd party software.

    You can also run System File Checker to search all of the corrupted system files.
     
    BTW - the update of Windows (and a few other forums) are combined forums, so all versions of Windows go on the forum itself.  Sorry for the confusion.

  • Total physical memory and the total virtual memory

    Hello

    When I checked the repressive information of my laptop computer on which Windows XP SP3 installed, I discovered that RAM is of approximately:

    Total physical memory: 2.048 MB
    Available physical memory: 1.32 GB

    Total virtual memory: 2 GB
    Total available memory: 1.96 GB

    As this screen shot in Arabic shows:

    I don't really know what mean these four memories.

    It would be very much appreciated

    Physical memory is actual RAM that is installed inyour PC is fast enough with respect to access to the data

    Virtual memory is not physical in terms that you can't touch it or remomve it. Vitutal is a section of hard disk space unused which is used on-site for faster physical memory that your PC does not have memory.

    Because the hard drive is slower interms of access data to physical memory, your PC will see improved performance by adding or replacing existing physical memory with amounts more or more (512 MB or more)

    Virtual memory allows your computer to always run, but at a slower speed when you run applications that have used all of the physical memory. Remember, even before starting a program already running the operating system and other services which each allocate a block of physical memory for themselves. You can see exactly how much is used by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL and display of the process tab and the performance tab.

    You can easily determine what your need to add to your PC memory by visiting a site like Crucial.com which allows you to scan your pc for the type of memory used.

  • Too much physical memory used.

    Hi, am windows XP 32 - bit professional edition on machine A Dell G280 with Intel Pentium IV 2.80 Ghz, with 512 MB of Ram, out of which 10 MB, I think that is used for graphics VGA or maybe. Thing is my system uses too much physical memory even when no ongoing work on this subject... ND who, at the time, is going painfully slow. Is it possible that I can release the physical memory usage? I would like to do a update Avast Anti virus installed.

    with 512 MB of memory, you need to keep the programs that are not needed

    at the time where the value manual or value on only when you manually start them.

    do a disk cleanup regularly and Defrag the C; often drive.

    minimize Add-ons.

    maintain the programs that start when XP does a minimum or none, but keep the anti virus

    program to start with XP.

    If you have media players this auto-update automatically the value updated

    When manually update you them.

    Look in the Task Manager, how much process is running and set the columns (view).

    to show all related to memory. Find what is using a lot.

    Avast can use too or not.

    10 MB of graphics is not quite likely you have 32 or more.

    keep about 15% space free hard drive at all times or things can get real slow or not

    not work at all.

    the avast firewall maybe slowing down things or not.

    run chkdsk /f he can fix something.

    other people can respond with number and best thing to do.

    That's just my opinion and some things that I do.

    I don't think it's really important at the start of the question.

    What is important is to know how to fix it.

    If you get a blue screen of death (BSOD) when you play, it seems that you should take a look at your video drivers.

    The chipset on your Asus GeForce 9500 GT is NVIDIA, so I visit NVIDIA site and let scan them online, take a look at your system and if there is one more late video driver for your system and if there is, consider installing it.

    Here's how:

    I use the NVIDIA site and let scan them online take a look at your video system and see what he suggests for drivers and consider their analysis if they offer a new driver.

    It is recommended to run the scan NVIDIA with Internet Explorer.

    Here is the address of the NVIDIA page:

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/Prescan.aspx?lang=en-us

    Read the instructions, and then click the DRIVERS GRAPHICS button to start scan and answered in the affirmative, if asked to install the plugin required to run the NVIDIA scan.

    If following their indications do not straighten things, then follow these steps:

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
     
    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information.

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and everything seems to be
    information private for you, just delete pasted information.

    When you have the time, I could do that too:

    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. type msconfig and click OK.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  • Pavilion HPE-110nl lost the physical memory

Already before this summer, this problem existed without clear reason. He disappeared until the day when, after a sudden power outage cost in our village.

    Hi KarenSellers,
     
     
    -What is the exact and complete verbatim of the error message that you receive? Thanks for mentioning the same thing with the error code that is displayed with the blue screen.
     

    Method 1: Try to start your computer in Mode safe mode and check if Windows loads successfully.

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    Check out this link to do the same thing:

    Method 2: Use the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check if there is an error with the memory.
