Weird thing happening on my new rig,that did not happen on my old rig.

[trainergames]

Ok i run a lot of stuff on my pc,and after a recent restart i have run 15+tabs in chrome,fraps(not recording),utorrent(for legal torrents),Vlc(running),steam,skype,HWMonitor,a chat program called raptr,task manager,teamspeak, and 2-3 folders open, and it only uses 3-4gb of my ram.

But if i leave my pc on for a while it will slowly use more of my ram over time,example has been 2 weeks since i have turned off my rig and i am running less stuff,and instead of using less ram, i am now using almost 7gb of my 8gb of ram,and i know once before the same thing happened,and it ended up using up so much ram,that i was unable to play any games cause windows would say i am running out of ram.

I know this never happened on my last rig.

Please help me find out the cause of it.

And please don't suggest to tun off my pc,cause i don't like turning off my rig cause i almost always have stuff that i am in the middle of,and i have having to find the point of a tv show/movie i was watching,and i don't want to bookmark everything i am working on,cause i already have to many bookmarks lol.

Sounds like maybe an app is leaking memory, like a browser add-on or something.

When your memory usage is high, have you tried looking at Task Manager to see how much RAM is being used by each app & service?

Right click on the task bar -> Start Task Manager (OR you can try Start -> Run -> taksmgr.exe).

In the Task Manager, go to the 'Processes' tab and make sure 2 things:

1) You're showing the columns for memory usage (View -> Select Columns...).
2) If applicable, click 'Show processes from all users" at the bottom of that list so you see *everything*.

With any luck, you should be able to see what's eating up all your RAM right there.

Ok i found this running atkexComSvc.exe and it keep using more ram,like on the Memory(private working set) it is 831,900k and going up every few seconds.

I found this

I guess i should try what they suggest.


Also look at the date the guy says on the last post,that creeped me out a little bit lol.

I would just unistall/disable.

But if you want/need it then I would try that guys script.

Yeah, I don't bother with AI Suite junk, I'd recommend uninstalling it normally first and seeing if it goes away. If not, try his instructions about manually disabling and/or removing those services.

Worse case, and I can't imagine how it would ever come to this, you can use that little VB script someone mentions in that thread. The script just restarts the service that's leaking memory.

He runs that script on a timer so the leaking service is regularly restarted, making the memory leak less of an issue. It's a kludge, but if for some reason you can't remove those services, it should work.

I like what one guy said there, and agree fully:

"AI Suite II is fun to play with, but it's like running speed tests: you'll do it all the time after you upgrade, but the fun fades after a while, and you'll eventually go back to using your computer for normal stuff."
