Hello everyone.
My system has recently hit a very strange wall with memory.
Every once in a while, my system will spike its physical memory usage up to 100%. For usually no aparent reason.
I've tried looking in task manager, and resource monitor to see WHAT is using all of my memory, but when I do, their is never any program using an unreasonable amount of memory!
Here is an example image from the Resource Monitor:
What program can I use to find out more about EXACTLY how much memory is allocated by each process? The system is CLEARLY using more memory than the sum of the pieces from each process. So how do I figure out what is using it?
I've heard performance monitor is a great tool, but I have no idea how to use it. And I'm not even sure if that program will be able to tell me anything useful...
I am on
Windows 7 x64
8GB memory installed
AMD Phenom II x4 3.2GHz processor
ATI 5770 GPU
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me,
Schroeder
