Windows 7 uses a lot of RAM during the idling

What happened since I have my laptop. I noticed that my windows 7 uses above 1.55 GB just idling. I mean im doing nothing! For now, he uses a bit little more because I have a few programs that start like SugarSync (cloud storage) and lightscreen (to take multiple screenshots without having to save them manually). Right now these programs use 14 864 (lightscreen) K and 27 192 K (SugarSync). I like the speed, so I have disabled many startup programs in msconfig. This is Adobe reader, Apple Push, Facebook update, Google update, GoogleDrive, Hp Quick Launch, Hp QuickWeb, iTunes, Logitech Download Assistant, SansaDispatch, LaunchBox HP, Skype, steam and Microsoft OneNote. So I have very few programs that I kept. My anti-virus is Kaspersky. The reason why I bring this up is that I need the RAM because I sometimes run a server minecraft and minecraft client with some other programs such as Skype and internet explore (by the way that I went from chome to IE10 because I love the metro look and how it behaves).  The thing that bothers me is that when I look at another computer windows 7 or my computer windows 7 friends they all use approximately 1.2 GB of RAM or less. How is it mine use so much? Is there a way to have Windows 7 use less RAM?

My specs are:

Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

6 GB OF RAM

AMD A8 3520 M APU with graphics card Radeon HD with 1.60 GHz

I end this laptop a year ago.

EDIT: Just happened a few minutes after I posted this and it never happened to me before. I was sailing on a new tech Web site when all of a sudden my computer makes a * BOOP * sound. the mouse started trolling then stopped all together. The fan is stronger and stronger and I couldn't do anything about. I had to force reboot and now all seems fine. Any ideas on what this is?

Hello Nathan,.

RE: 512 MB VRAM - I have twice this and I repeat what I said earlier, ",""my office has 8 GB of RAM and my video card Radeon HD takes 3348 MB of RAM to lend to my video card that has only 1 GB of VRAM on it. And given your use of Minecraft, I don't have what you are ready to video, but I guess that's a lot. "

It's the GB.3 my video card is my RAM (System) the loan principal. The same amount which is the difference between your computer and your friends. And you have different programs on your machine, or are they also set up as a server / clients? Each machine is different, there are differences even in models from the same manufacturer.

The amount of RAM you are talking about 'missing' is low. If you are short on RAM that 3 tenths of a means of GB that much - upgrade your amount of RAM immediately.

In fact, if you want to compensate for it 3 tenths of a GB of RAM place a 4, 8, 16 or 32 GB flash drive to a free USB port and dedicate it to ReadyBoost see this article for instructions and the performance benefits: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/using-windows-readyboost-to-increase-performance/ . I have a 16 GB key on both my office of 8 GB on my laptop 2 GB. This works.

Let me know how you fare.

Kind regards

  • Solution for Google Chrome (Helper) by using a lot of ram and cpu on mac os x

    Hi all

    Some people have several tabs of google chrome, and it's using a lot of RAM. It also causes the fan go crazy sometimes. I looked for a solution for centuries, but no solution has allowed, until I stumbled upon the simple solution to use a google chrome extension that hibernates unused tabs. The problem has now completely disappeared.

    There are a few different extensions that Hibernate unused tabs, but the only extension which has enough options setting to do what I want, is called "The Great Suspender".

    You can set the time, after which the Hibernate (sleep) tab. The tab automatically resumes when it focuses on, (i.e., you don't need to then also click on a specific button). And the tabs of the extended day before will remain in hibernation after you restart the computer.

    There are many other parameters that can be changed. (After you have made changes, don't forget to click the 'save changes' button.)

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks for the tip.

  • Lenovo y510p using a lot of RAM when it should not

    I just had the y510p the other day, installed windows 7 64 bit and it has loaded with pilots and after installing all the car windows updates (which is almost a day of the tool) and now it seems he uses around 35% of the 8 GB RAM and comes with SLI disabled and all it remains out. Any idea what could be the cause? Looking at the Task Manager I could sum up a total of about 1 GB used but it always seems like about 3 GB used

    Yes, those look normal to me. You use 1.6 GB of ram right now which is pretty standard for Windows.

    Hello RenoMac1,

    Solution: -.
    In all likelihood, your mail server does not work. The ISP (or internal it Department) brought the server for maintenance. Perhaps the server was interrupted due to other problems, or there is a problem with the connection.

    There is really nothing you can do but wait, and keep trying. If the problem persists for a long time, you can call your ISP (or internal it Department) and find out if there is a problem. You can usually find out if it's a connection problem trying to access the World Wide Web using your browser. If you can access the Web, you can assume the connection is good, and the problem lies in the server. Some access providers offer network status reports on their Web sites. You can see the status page of the network on the Web site to see if the ISP knows the problem and is working to fix it. If this is not the case, call your provider and find out if this is a known issue. In most cases, the problem is on the side Server and not with your PC, and you have to wait for its resolution.

  • My XP guest uses a lot more memory on the new laptop

    I just got a Dell Studio 15 and moved my Windows XP VM to it, and it uses a lot more memory than on my old system.  I don't know how VMWare allocates memory, but on my old system, I saw almost no additional memory used when you start this virtual machine (with the exception of the cache memory), but on the new, it uses almost as much memory that I have assigned to the virtual machine (1024 MB).  It is also worth noting that I use VMWare 7 on a new and 6.5 on the old host.

    Anything I can do to get great efficiency that I was getting on my old system?

    really not use 2 virtual processors on a host that has 2 CPUs.

    What is an Ubuntu 9.10 system?

    Other than adding

    mainmem.backing = 'name '.

    for the vmx file.

    This will slow down the virtual machine, but you wanted to do that ;-)

  • Windows XP Pro can't find HD during the startup of the CD process.

    Lately, when my computer starts, it began to automatically run the disk check process. During the process, several files are either deleted or recovered. It's embarrassing so I tried to repair Windows XP Pro OS. The problem is that Windows does not detect the drives. I tried the ASR system, the R option to repair, and continues even with the start of the CD but Windows reports it cannot locate my hard drives. My motherboard is GA-81955 X Royal Gigibyte with 2 IDE hard drives of 40G and 2 DVD/CD players. Thanks for any help.

    The problem is in the AVG Antivirus software that I had to uninstall and remove all references to it in the registry. With no antivirus on the computer software, everything worked fine.

    Then, recently, there was an automatic update of Windows that enamored System32 of the computer records. Due the Gigibyte motherboard and how second HDD and DVD/CD player were to be installed to operate Windows has not found any drive C.

    To get the C drive to work again I had to remove it and install it in another computer as a slave drive XP then manually restore the files of System32. The restored files are not the same that have caused other problems. I tried to reinstall only the C drive and 1 DVD/CD drive but windows still not able to perform automatic recovery. Spent several weeks to correct the problems and reinstalling the software.

    The best solution would have been to reformat the C drive and reinstall the software, but I didn't know if I had backed up all my data.

  • ID package already in use, an error has occurred during the recording of output ' 1.1.0"to the database.

    Hello

    I currently have an application called "Apa Doanya' (id 33020976) for BB 7 and below. Now, I created another version of it for BB10. To publish this version BB10, I created a new application named also "Apa Doanya' (id 46317888), download the file bar, but not yet to introduce the new application for review. Later, I changed my mind, I want to release this BB10 version under the name of my current application so that I can keep the sides and the current download figures. So in my application, I added a new version, download the folder bar and increment the version 1.1.0. But I got an error when recording on step 5, he said:

    Package already in use ID
    An error has occurred during the recording of output ' 1.1.0"to the database.

    I tried several times but no luck. What has caused this? Is - it because I already download the bar file to another application (id 46317888)? Just to be sure, I remove bar app 46317888 file and download a dummy cod file (so that the application can be saved). Then repeat the previous step (add a new version and so on) but I still have the same error.

    Really appreciate any help.
