My quite new windows 8.1 PC is using a lot of RAM, when i only have Skype open it uses 1.6 GB out of 8 GB. Whenever i play games, the RAM runs out after 10-20 minutes and the game chrashes, if anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know!

Thanks.

I have heard quite a few people complaining about this. The problem has something to do with the Ethernet controller. You can read up on how to fix it here http://damjank.blogspot.com/2012/11/windows-8-rtm-memor...

type in regedit and look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Nd and then change the start value to 4. Then restart your system

Which number do i change? I don't want to fuck up... Is it the 1 after all the zeros or the one behind that says (2) ?

UPDATE: I found it and i changed it to 4, it's still using 1.3 GB of memory with only skype in use
