    RAM Usage & Overheating


    I re-installed Windows 10 a few months ago using the ISO. This month, a few days back, I realized that the disk was MBR. So, I converted to GPT using CMD.


    But, now I am noticing that after converting to GPT, the RAM is unusually high and my computer heats up too fast. The images are attached below:

    I have no apps open and only QuickHeal, IOBit Advanced SystemCareand Teams are only running in the background. So, is the 2.2GBIn use of RAM ususal or I am only finding it too high??


    Please help!!

    :)

    Unknown Constant RAM Usage

    Hi,

    To explore more on RAM usage by processes and see in-depth I advise you to open the Resource monitor, please follow the below steps.

    Step 1 :

    Open Task Manager

    Step 2:

    Click on Performance

    Step 3:

    At the bottom click on Open Resource Monitor

    Step 4:

    Under Resource Monitor windows click on Memory

    Step 5:

    Click on Working Set to list the top process utilizing the more RAM and then evaluate RAM usage.

    Regards

    RAM Usage & Overheating

    Task Manager RAM Usage

    My computer is running 64 bit Windows 10 with 6 GB of RAM.

    I have been monitoring my memory usage via Task Manager and occasionally download tasklist via the cmd line.

    What has been bothering me is that my RAM usage at reboot starts at 34%, and left alone, increases to ~75-80% without running any programs.
    (I do have start up programs including McAfee, Dropbox, Seagate console, gadgets, etc.)

    When I analyze the tasklist download file via Excel, the total RAM memory usage is approximately 3.1 GB at 79%.
    Doing the math, this means there is only 4 GB in use?

    I have 2 questions:

    1. Does Task Manager list all the RAM usage or is there some background usage that is not shown.?

    2. Is there any other way to monitor RAM leakage?
