  1. Residual Ram being used after closing applications


    Upon starting my PC, CPU and RAM usage is around 20%, which is normal for my PC. This will stay the same until I open an application, lets say a game. After finishing and closing the application, some ram will still be used, but no tasks will be shown using that ram in task manager. After a while, usage will be at around 70-80% of 16 gigabyte of ram while having 2 applications open chrome with ~3 tabs and discord. Nothing in task manager shows above 900 mbs of ram being used. If I check the user tab of task manager it shows ~1 gb of ram being used. I've ran malwarebytes scans multiple times with nothing showing up. Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

  2. UNINSTALLING GOOGLE CHROME & RESIDUAL LEFT OVERS (COMPLETELY)

    Hi Stacee,

    All the applications and programs installed on the computer will be located under
    Programs and Features window in Control panel.

    Before assisting further, how did you uninstall Google Chrome on the computer?

    You will be able to completely uninstall and remove the relevant files of a program or an application from the computer in
    Program and Features window.

    Follow the steps below to uninstall Google Chrome files and folders completely from the computer and check if the issue is resolved.

    • Press Windows logo + R keys on the keyboard, type
      appwiz.cpl and press Enter.
    • Check if Google Chrome is located in the window.
    • If yes, select the program and click on Uninstall
      option.
    • After the uninstalling process is complete, close the window and check if the changes are effective.

    If the issue persists, I suggest you to check if the program developer has a program removal kit for that particular program and uninstall the program completely from the PC.

    Write to us with the status of removing Google Chrome residual files and folders on the computer in the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

    Thank you.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
