    Ram being Exhausting !!!

    I don't know what is happening but from last four days I have noticed that my laptop's 33% or more ram is being used by system in taskbar it is slowing my system by using unnecessary ram.

    &

    It always says a message in start up that unable to start dolby driver please restart your system or reinstall the driver if problem persists

    I have done both using the latest drivers of windows 10 too.

    using Lenovo G510

    i5 4th generation Cpu 2.5 ghz turbo boost up to 3.2Ghz

    what the hell is being with Microsoft, I never thought about it that this will happen with Microsoft products.

    if you say about corruption of windows file then what a good product you have made who got corrupted every fourth day.

    Do you have vsync on in the minecraft options?
    Are your GPU drivers up to date?

    There are in general 2 reasons why Windows memory manager will limit the memory given to a process.
    1. The memory is needed by other processes.
    2. Giving it more would not significantly improve it's performance. Generally giving a process more memory will improve it's performance, but only to a point. There will always come a time where giving it more will do very little for it's performance. There may be some other factor limiting the process performance and giving it more memory will not overcome this. There is no provision for overriding the memory managers behavior.

    There is no reason to believe that the problems you are having are memory related. I am not a gamer and will not speculate on what that may be.

    THIS IS WHAT I FOUND SO FAR FOR AN EXPLANATION
    1) You set the timings in the BIOS, so no matter what a Windows program reads it, it is running at the BIOS speed.
    2) In CPU-Z, you have to times your RAM frequency by two to get the actual speed. It is taking into account the multiplier, so it only shows it as half.

    Ram Being Capped?

    That's the way RAM speed is measured in dual channel mode: 2x800MHz=1600MHz.

    DDR = Double Data Rate...

    Anyway, it looks like you're gpu drivers aren't updated, You stated you were getting 5fps in GTA 5 as well, that's not a hardware issue that's a driver not being their issue.
