    Random crashes and high RAM used.
    « on: September 20, 2015, 03:34:03 AM »
    I have a problem with windows 10 that once I turn my computer on the RAM used (I have 8gb of RAM) is around 30-50% this is without any program up but anti-virus and the like (bitdefender) and then latter on in the day it would go up to 90-99% I also get random freezes with my screen making it so I have to restart my computer around once a day. If possible can I get any help with this and a quick solution thank you for your time.

    So computer is not used at all during the day it just sits idle and a memory leak starts to consume your system RAM over time?

    Is this a clean build of Windows 10 or an upgrade from prior OS to 10, if so which OS did you come from and  have you ever had any malware issues with that before the upgrade?

      Well when I first load up my computer like I said it will already be using 30-50% of my RAM then when on my computer rather playing a game the game would be a simple one that does not use much memory I would have steam up and sometimes skype as well my RAM would go up to 90% like it is now although I am not on a game and I updated to windows 10 from windows 8.1 and that is when I started to notice this.

      You need to check how many apps you have loading on startup....

        I have already done that and as I said this started after updating to windows 10 before hand with all the same apps installed that I have now on startup in fact less I get high RAM usage at the start of running my computer and while being on it for a few hours so that is not the problem and I have done research on what the problem may be and could not find anything and so decided to post.
