    High idle ram usage 8gb using 60%

    "ram usage at idle is 60%"

    - Not a fix for your unknown RAM use (Greg's suggestions should help with that), and this only adds up to a bit under 1GB use but...

    A system is not at idle with around eight Chrome browser Windows and tabs open.

    Discord, and two active searches. Not to mention a system hogging 'Anti-malware' program.

    Desktop Window Manager is using more than usual as well.

    - It looks like you have a bit of DELL bloatware running too.

    - What is the RAM use straight after re-booting Windows ?

  3. Crossfire - 2900XT - BSOD above 5GB RAM

    Many thanks for suggestions:

    - memtest86+1.7.iso was used and showed all 8GB OK
    - Now tried all combinations for the Crossfire internal bridges - no change to memory being reported

    So, I have a Crossfire-enabled system but cannot get it to run above 5gb and when 8GB worth of RAM is inserted it BSODs.

    Any further suggestions welcome...

    Windows 10 uses 2GB RAM on idle

    Does that mean that if I revert back to Windows 7, it'll be much faster and less RAM would be used?
