I keep getting low memory errors so when i looked at my resource monitor commit charge was 100% when doing nothing. I have 8gb of ddr3 and it says i have plenty of memory left but i still get low ram dialogs popping up from time to time. Any help?

Download Process explorer and run it as admin (it comes from Microsoft so its safe)

the default view is tree structure meaning like your task manager screen, it will show what processes are under each servicxe, but unlike the other one, it shows the ram usage of each part so you can see what is eating your ram

Private bytes = actual ram usage
Working set = Ram + page file usage << this could be where your problem will show cause

This page shows what all the colours and headings mean, link at bottom of it shows how to use it to find problems. You can right click headers and run an av scan from within the program.

its probably a driver with a memory leak
