I'm running vista 32-bit on an HP media centre desktop pc I got back in 2007. Windows vista is garbage and I've been reformatting this computer basically every 6 months since I got it, due to various issues.
Anyway, the most recent issue I've been having now is excessive memory usage when no programs in the task manager are responsible.
My computer sits at idle from startup at say 20-30% total memory. At this moment and once before (both during this week, issue first occured). Its running at about 60% at idle from startup.
When you add a browser in there (Firefox), normally id get 70% and now I'm hitting 95%. The last time this occured I sat and watched the task manager and after 10 minutes the memory usage just dropped down 20-30% back to normal.
There are NO programs in task manager showing that are responsible for this much usage.
Just wondering what this might be?
Im assuming its either malware or hardware issues, but am not sure.
