Ram issues?

[Lyonheart]

My ram is saying it is using 99% in the task manager. The total in the TM is 1500MB being used though, i have 16GB. When im 5boxing i get a lot of lag. Just trying to figure out if i have bad ram or somthing. Any ideas?

Look at your list of processes (on the processes tab of the task manager) and sort it by memory to see what is eating it up. If you've got 500 tabs open in Chrome (like I normally do), then you're going to eat right through your RAM quickly.

I had done that.. but the total ram being used was less than 2gigs ( from every app running.. including OS ) but it was saying at the top ( 99%) ..i logged out of WoW and it went down to 95% lol..i turn off the PC.. took my ram chips out.. put them back in..rebooted and now im running great. Not sure if removing and installing the ram did anything at all.. but after reboot im less than 40% and everything runs great. Could it be some kind of memory leak? I had not shut down for a few days.

Did you have a button down the bottom which says "Show processes from all users"??. Mind you, the only thing that says 99% is more likely to be the CPU usage (system idle process most likely), not the Memory (Private Working Set). None of the memory counters report in percentage in Task Manager (oh, except for the status line, but that includes cache, which is also "available").

You can always run Perfmon to look at the per process report. Task Manager is great for the basics, but Perfmon is much better if you are troubleshooting.

I have some memory leak too in windows 10 - pointing to ntoskrnl.exe - running scan it tells me it is my grafik driver contra the ones windows 10 have.

Have not found a working fix - and can only feel the lag issue when running 5 time wow + Isboxer - not when running other games.

Go to Start menu > Settings app and then open System > Notifications & Actions. Deselect the option "Show me tips about Windows" and reboot the computer.

That's one of the first things I did to my Win10 machines.
