    Massive RAM usage


    Hi everyone, I don't know if this is the right place to put this but it's been a while since this is happening: This PC currently have 8 GB of RAM after playing/watching a few videos/browising the ram suddenly goes up to 85-95+% (70-75% the lowest) of usage and never goes down no matter what I do, I need to log off or restart the PC so it goes back to "normal". I really need help with this, will be much appreciated.


    P.D.: I use Chrome (no more than 10-12 tabs), uTorrent and MPCHC in a daily basis.

    P.D. 2: Already did fresh Installs TWICE (And when there is a new build too).

    :)

    Nonpaged Pool

    Hello, I am having concerns with my RAM. I noticed in task manager that my memory usage was 90%+, and was puzzled. I checked my RAM usage on RamMap, and found that 11GB were allocated to nonpaged pool. Every task I try to preform is met with a massive performance
    hit. For example, playing video games, the game is very choppy, and can't keep a steady frame rate.

    My questions for today are: What is nonpaged pool? What can I do to get that memory back? Below you can see an image of RamMap.

    After Recent Windows' Microsoft Updates - Windows 10 "System" Is Hogging Up Almost All Of RAM

    I've done some more research into this issue with Windows 10 and System being a RAM jogger as well as using more of the CPU than it should and it turns out it's a common issue and has been around for awhile; so this means it's been around and is known by
    Microsoft yet like the "Critical Error Start Menu and Cortana aren't working. We'll try fixing it for you next time you sign in." error as well.

    This just further proves that Microsoft decided to release a buggy Operating System (OS) when they knew it was still plaqued with errors. Errors apparently they can't figure out how to fix.

    Here are some helpful links I've discovered though, but I haven't been able to try them out yet:

    Have you checked the Details list to see which apps are using all your memory?

    I did that and there is nothing out of the ordinary, just shows up the normal stuff I'm already aware of.

    Well, can you post a screen shot of your performance tab? And your Processes tab sorted by memory usage?

    Try uninstalling your uTorrent and see if that does something. You can always install it back.
