    Will upgrading memory from 8gb to 16gb help with slow PC and internet?


    First post. So I have done a clean install windows 10 home, after formatting, new partition, updated drivers, etc... PC still seems to run slow and I am wondering if it is just an old (2014) mb, processor, etc.. Please take a look at my specs page for build info. OR, would upgrading from 8gb to 16gb memory help?

    Great site!

    Thanks

    :)

    Memory capping problem 16gb capping at 8gb

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, first time using the site but I need some help.

    I am currently running a 16gb setup on my pc running windows10 and have a big problem. Every time I use applications that are memory heavy I run into an error making me close down the application or memory/file corruption or leakage may occur. However, if I check my task manager I can see that the memory usage is at 80% and only using around 8gb or less(I have actually added up the amount of space every single app have taken up manually and it was under 8gb while over 90%). I constantly have this problem and never browsed through task manager much before so I am not really sure when the problem arose.


    Here are some screenshots showing my comp specs and a task manager screenshot

    Will upgrading memory from 8gb to 16gb help with slow PC and internet?

    16GB of committed memory on a 8GB RAM system

    My system is currently very slow, and I'm fishing for reasons why this might be..

    System is : W10x64 Pro, i5-4460 CPU @3.2GHz, 8GB PC3-12800 @ 1600MHz, 500GB SATA HDD.

    Disk C: has less than 10% free space, and from what I see in Task Manager, disk usage is my main problem. From time to time the computer freezes, and I have to wait 10-15 minutes for it to release.

    Just now I noticed I have 16GB of committed memory, I have no idea why. Might it be that the system is forced to write data on the HDD all the time and this is why it is so slow ?

    Image from Task Manager :

    EDIT. My Paging file is 8GB which explains the committed memory size.

    Should I disable it and see if the RAM is enough for my usage .. I need a solution on how to get the system to work normally.
