So I started noticing some lag in the games i play so I lowered the graphics settings after confirming that my internet connection was fine (for online games like BF4) and I was still getting lag. I opened task manager saw that my ram is almost maxed out?? I have 8gigs of it, how could it all be taken up doing nothing?? yes my ram is at load even when im not playing games. I even tried adding up all the ram used by applications and it was nowhere near 8GB. I did a whole system scan with avg and nothing came up.... could someone tell me whats going on?
Try looking in Task manager for any unusual processes. Also maybe try a malwarebytes scan.
nothing in task manager. scanning now.
Hi,
Try installing Comodo Cleaning Essentials.
See what it reports for RAM usage. In my experience, you should be able to tell what is chewing memory simply by looking in Task Manager. You can sort the applications by top memory users and see if you can pin point what is using it all.
You could also try booting into safe mode and see if the same memory consumption happens.
