Hello there,
In a previous thread I asked if I needed more ram to stop bf4 stuttering. The reason why it was stuttering was because there was not enough ram and the task manager reported 90% ram use and above even though bf4 was using 1.2gb, the only program running was chrome and my total ram use was around 1.8gb.
I have 4gb ram and this only started happening a month or two ago.
So between now and a month or two ago something must of changed that has started to permanently use a lot of ram. I've un-installed everything apart from the most trustworthy things.
I've run virus checks and nothing has been detected.
As soon as I turn the computer on im at 30% with only 200mb ram being used.
What could be using all this ram?
