PC takes too much RAM without running almost any application

splintters · Dec 11, 2015

As the title says, when I wake my

PC from sleep it starts slowly and steadily increasing it's RAM usage. It goes like from 40% to 95% with only Firefox and Spotify open. Although, after an hour or two it goes back to normal RAM usage 60%~. The problem persists every time I wake up my PC from sleep but after awhile it fixes itself. Anyone know what's wrong?

Well, you have utorrent, spotify, and Firefox running (and multiple instances of some of them.

Is this a recently upgraded to Win 10 system?

COLGeek :

It's Windows 7. They still take too much RAM, it shouldn't be as high.

Do this. Stop all of those apps. Then run full anti-virus and anti-malware scans. Remove any offending files/apps.

Then uninstall and then re-install the latest versions of FF, Spotify, and uTorrent.

See if this over-use issues resolves.

Good luck!
