Hi,
I have a windows 8.1 running on my Acer Machine with 8GB of Memory. I was surprised today that while browsing chrome (and no youtube), I got a message that my memory is running low and I need to close some windows. There was no other running on the system. Even right now, I just have this page opened (and nothing else opened on my system) and the memory usage reads : 6.5/ 7.9GB(82%)
I have absolutely no idea why is this happening. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated !
Cheers,
~K

You could potentially have a memory leak or some other program using up your memory. You'll need to open task manager or you can use process explorer and that will provide a very detailed view of your memory utilization.
