I just got a new laptop Asus x540YA. Specs are as follows:
AMD A8 7410 with R5 Graphics (APU)
4GB 1600Mhz RAM
1TB Toshiba MQ01ABD100 HDD
Out of the 4gb ram, I have 592 mb hardware reserved ram. On the first day of the usage, I found the laptop to freeze for 4-5 seconds. Since that time, it has stuttered a very few times but I couldn't help but find out the cause. I got until this point: I am getting hard faults ranging from 0 to 1000 as soon as I open something or when something is in use and disk queue length goes very high too, near 10 almost everytime I open an application and sometimes near 30.(something heavy like android studio, otherwise it is uptil 10-15). When nothing is being opened up, for eg. while I am typing this, it isn't showing any hard faults. I can't help but wonder if this is a problem with my HDD or is it because of hardware reserved memory. Also, why does resource monitor say 68% memory used when I have 0 mb free(though I have plenty in Standby). Please Help. Also if my config is low, should I buy a better laptop?
