Hi, I have noticed a few forums that skirt around the edges of this Windows 8 memory problem, but have never found an actual fix so I wanted to ask about it here. I recently purchased a new Acer Aspire V3 772G-9821, running Windows 8 with 8 gig installed RAM. I have an Intel i7 processor, GeForce GT 750M, and 1000 gig hard drive.
The error I am getting is a low memory error, where Windows claims it is using almost 100% of the installed 8 gigs of ram, but in reality there is generally only about 176 MB being used. Right now I've reset it a few times and its dropped to 28%, but clearly that is still not right since under task manager I am currently using 480 MB of 8 gigs.
This seems to be a common problem, but nobody has been able to address it correctly. I've done some digging, but couldn't find anything definitive.
Here is a screenshot of the current usage... when it does it at 100% the computer is unusable. I have no idea how I dropped it to 28%. I just reset the computer a few times.
