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.

  • All of the physical memory used, but nothing in the Task Manager

    Hi I have windows 7 64 bit new installation as of yesterday (fully updated) and encounter a performance problem. When I look under task manager 95% of my physical memory (4 GB 3.5 GB) is used, but there is no task that uses memory. I chose to see the task for all users, and again nothing use the 3.5 GB of memory. It is a pretty clean install (auditor of virus and Skype, installed steam just) so no chance of a virus. I check my page file and it is set for the page file windows automatically scabies.

    I tried many things:-all service stop I can (no change)
    manually configure the paging file (no change)
    Reinstalled windows 7 (problem is finally once that all updates have been applied)

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    I had the same problem and it is solved.

    a month ago my computer was sluggish and his memory was 77% either 93%, even though nothing was running. in the Task Manager for all the different processes added up to about 1.75 GB, so there was about 2 GB memory unexplained (4gig memory). I always ignored the 'show processes from all users"because im the only user on my computer, but decided to finally click i and a new process comes top of the list. Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, this process itself was using 2 GB of memory. After completing the process, my memory returned to normal. However another thing you need to do is go to the resource monitor in the performance of the Manager section tasks and to suspend all processes of Window Media Player Network Sharing Service which are still open to slow things, and then set your very pretty.

    I realize that this is maybe not the exact answer to problem for everyone, but give it a shot.

  • Too much process and use of memory Windows 8.1

    Hello

    I am currently using Windows Enterprise 8.1.

    I'm not running the applications, games or software but I notice about 2.3 GB of RAM memory usage and 88 of running processes.

    Someone told me it is too and its Windows 8.1 it is only 40 of the running processes and about 1.5 GB of RAM.

    Now can you please check which runs under the process?

    AmgedIsmail

    When Windows is installed but nothing added is around 40 process but once you start adding things the number goes up.  ~ 80 process is not uncommon.

    Tell your friend that there is nothing wrong.  You use about 25% of ram so much you and it is simply not a problem.

    I have seen systems with 150 used process and 3 GB of ram and it is bad because it could cause a delay.

    In short if you do not have a problem, you like it, tell us your firend to explain here and I bet that he cannot or will not.

  • My laptop is often spiking to 100% CPU usage and always > 10%, with a physical memory to 25% + even though I have no programs running

    Recently, I reformatted the drive, reinstalled Windows and have no personal data on this subject. The only application there is office, which I am not, using McAffee and my browser:-I use it mainly for web browsing.

    It seems to happen mostly when I was using the browser, then left the machine for a few hours, then come back and tried to use it again. I turned off the screen saver and specify power options to keep permannently because she seems to be that the question was restartinjg rest. When the CPU usage is at its peak, and I try to return to the browser (or whatever it is) it may take some minutes to answer - just to load the Control Panel, for example.

    I can see from the Manager tasks, which is currently running, but ideas on how to identify the process that all take this resource, I can stop safely and therefore to save resources?

    Processes are:-

    CSRSS
    DWM
    Explorer
    mcagent
    MSASCui
    rundl32
    Sidebar
    taskeng
    Taskmgr
    Winlogon

    Also a lot of services - too many to list!

    All the processes you list, apart from mcagent, which is McAfee, are essential components of Windows. If you finish one of them outside the sidebar of your computer stops working to a greater or lesser degree. You could try gadgets on sidebar of closing in case one of them is wrong to behave.

    Another thing that can cause the CPU to boost with no application running is Windows Update and probably analysis and updates from McAfee.

    Don't you have the CPU column shows in the Task Manager, so that you can see which process is using most of the CPU? What processor is it? What is a heart?

    A better tool than the Manager of the tasks for these circumstances is Process Explorer.

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    Process Explorer is a chart of the CPU where you can put the mouse on a cob and it will tell you what process is using most of the CPU.

    There is an introduction to Process Explorer here.

    As for the memory of 25%, 25% of what? Computer laptop 2 GB I write this on shows 42% of physical memory used with any running application. It's Windows. It's big enough.

    In your situation, one thing I would try would be to uninstall McAfee (run the removal tool then http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507) and install Microsoft Security Essentials.

  • AVG says using too much memory because multiple firefox is open, but I only see one.

    AVG regularly analyzes in the background. Lately he has demonstrated a popup window that says multiple applications of Firefox are running and using too much memory, so I should close some. But I can only see 1. Tried CTRL ALT DEL to see if I could find the answer, but only showed 1 firefox, and that he used more than 28 000. So I think that AVG is correct, but does not know how to see what who or where they are. They DO NOT display in the lower menu on the main screen, so I guess they are in the background. Do not have the virus, and Firefox, regularly updates itself. What should I do to fix?

    Hi cmich80220.
    It is true, that you should only be able to run only one instance of Firefox at the same time. I searched but could not find someone else with a similar problem. If the problem comes back to Firefox running slowly, you can consult this article for troubleshooting:

  • Explorer.exe and svchost.exe using too much memory

    I have disabled the automatic updates after the last round of updates, and now, all of a sudden, explorer.exe and svchost.exe use too much memory... enough to interfere with other programs, I try to use.

    Help?

    Windows XP Professional - Svc Pack 3 processor: Intel (r) Pentium (r) D CPU 2.80GHz CPU speed: 2.73 GHz memory: 512 MB

    Why you turn off automatic updates?

    There are between the two options. I just set it to notify. When it is practical, I go to the Microsoft Update slte and use the custom (not Express) option. This gives the user full control of the update of trial.

    You will have a better idea of the cause of the problem using Process Explorer.

    Download Process Explorer.
    For more information about Process Explorer, see here:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

    With svchost.exe provide us a list of services using the process. There are number of processes that are using svchost.exe, so we need to know that we provide more targeted assistance. Right click on the process, click on properties and look at the Services tab.

    Solution Explorer. exe has a number of subprocesses. Select the sub-process, click Properties and check the Services tab.

    Have you recently changed all types of starting any service. This often leads to the problem. Users often disable a reflection of service to speed up the system performance. In practice what is done is of one or several programs to malfunction.

    Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • Why scvhost.exe uses 75% of the physical memory of my laptop?

    I noticed recently that scvhost.exe a host process for windows, use more than 75% of the physical memory of my computers, usually at about 106, 000 k, it's not normal that my system and it slows down my system, I regularly keep my PC, because I use it regularly at the College and put it on standby saves time as the stopping and starting of the system again Is there a version of the patch that will prevent scvhost.exe to use lots of physical memory.

    Thank you very much.

    Something more about this problem? Still facing this problem where svchost.exe takes too much memory. :(

    Edit: I deactivated "Generator Windows Audio endpoint" in services.msc and the problem disappeared. This servise is to control audio devices but I have a Realtek sound card and I installed the latest drivers for it and the sound works & speakers.
    Hope that helps anyone who has similar problems.
    Edit2: after as I restared, svchost.exe still using a lot of memory, but now it is linked with cscservise. Do not know what is happening right now. Anyone?
    Edit3: I did some research on the Internet and came up with this SuperFetch service. After you disable it in the Manager of tasks, svchost.exe became normal and he did not use this amount of memory. Also, I disable it in services.msc and I hope it will work as good as it was.
    Just do not know why this problem occurred, where. I didn't install anything recently except Battlefield 3.
