Memory Leak in Windows 7

billyjoetheminer · Jul 17, 2015

I currently have a memory leak on my PC that eventually uses 90% of my memory. I need help on the issues, as I have to restart my computer constantly in order to resolve the issue. The amount of ram usage varies as time goes on, and although I have tried to locate the source of the memory leak I have been unsuccessful. Below are my PC Specs, a picture of my Task Manager's Performance tab, and a picture of Windows Performance Analyzer's resident set. Please help me resolve this issues.

As you can see an unknown process named N/A is using 5 G/b of Memory i am not sure whether this is standby memory or just an unlisted process.

CPU- AMD FX 6130
MoBo- MSI 970-G46
GPU- AMD Radeon 7770

Thanks for any help.

Annoying issue of all the RAM being used up with these memory leaks. The most common offender is Google Chrome, and I suggest to use Firefox for the time being.

The other help is a program known as Clean Mem. It is freeware, and periodically looks for memory allocated to a program no longer being used, and releases it back so it is available for use.

I have never used Google Chrome on this PC. I have only ever used firefox, except in situations where i have had to use Internet Explorer. As for Clean Mem, i will try it and see if it gets me any result.

Ok, give CleanMem a try and see if it helps.

The one I use with good results is called 'Memory Cleaner' or 'MemClean' for short.
