96% Ram usage completely idle.

[MeGa__Mushroom]

I've recently built my new pc and it's been running fine for a week.
Although recently it's been running incredibly slow.
After looking around for what it might be I realised my Memory usage is 96% with nothing open.
I've looked through all the processes, there's nothing unusual everything is working fine. It's a hidden process taking up my 7.6gbs of 8gbs of Ram. I've looked around for solutions and nothings worked. Ran a simple avg virus check. Nothing.
Pls help!!

take a screenshot of your task manager memory tab like this.

Might help us see something. Did you disable page file or something as well?

I did not disable page file, not even sure what it is.

To find virtual memory and see if that's effecting something, goto control panel, system, then on the left click on advanced system settings, click on advanced, performance, and click "change" next to virtual memory and take a shot of what the virtual memory window looks like.

Like that.

Disk usage is at 100% too. That might be related. Is there a specific process listed as utilizing the disk, or is this hidden like the memory usage?

I think its hidden too, It seems to be up and down. I think its always been like that, that hasn't really caused any issues as far as I know

I've kept looking into it, haven't found anything.
When I boot my pc it instantly goes to 93%.

have you installed anything sketchy lately? that seems very odd to just randomly start popping up..

are you using a legit version of windows? i know its common practice to just crack when you are low on $..

100% legit version.

Nothing that I know of. I've only really just downloaded stuff off steam.
Would it be worth me running after virus scan with something better? What would you recommend?

Disk usage at 100% can be steam. It bogs me right down sometimes. When you go to the task manager, does it show steam_bootloader or whatever running and using the disk usage.

I haven't had steam running at all. Its just at 100% memory at normal.

Steams always runs. lol.

Its called Superfetch. If you don't want it running you can do this:

Press (windows key + R).
type in "services.msc" (without quotes)
look for the service called "Superfetch"
once you find it double click on it to bring up the properties window.
In that window press the "Stop" button.
To prevent it from starting again set the startup type to "Disabled" and hit "Apply" and restart your PC.

Dude you're an absolute saint. It fixed it. Thank you.

Wow, superfetch did that? It has never been that bad on any computer I've seen.
