Hello, above all sorry about my english, i will try my best to make myself clear.
My problem is with my RAM, when i start downloading files, specially big files (more than 1G), Ram start filling up to a point that it crash the system. (For example, yesterday pre downloading WoW World of Draenor, about 10G, System crashed after 9G was downloaded, Ram filled from 35% my pc iddle, from 98% after 9G downloaded). And it happen for every single big file i download, or big games updates. This is happening to me for a while and i dunno the reason. I use the pc for playing basically. Wow, Swtor.
I dont have and state of the art Pc, i have 2G of Ram, and Windows 7 32bits. But thats not the problem, i have this system for like 4 years, and it started happening the last 6 months or so. I use Avast and Superantispyware, and it didnt detected nothing.
If you need more details, i will try to give all i can.

2Gb of ram simply isn't enough. After the OS takes what it needs to survive there's hardly anything left. If you going to play any games or do any serious download at least 4GB is required. 8 is recommended but can be overkill for some.

Still thats not a solution for me...specially since i was fine with my 2G RAM, fine gaming, and doing whatever i choose to do normally. The only problem starts when i need to download something...i need some tips on how to solution this. Telling me to make a new Rig with more Ram, is not a solution. I am in the process of getting a new Rig, but i want to know the cause of this problem in particular, because if it was my fault, i dont want to make it again.
