So imagine you still have a dual-core and your computer is really slow... so then you spend a shit load of money to build a completely new computer, only to have it also be... slow. This is my problem currently.
I have 8 GB DDR RAM and at the moment 99% of it is being used. It's not being used by any process that I can see, as all the processes running currently is usiong little over 800mb of RAM. Opening a new website takes me about 5 minutes and my patience has run out with all of the "scan for a virus" and "look for malware" comments all over the internet. DId anyone else experience this problem and already know the solution?
As far as I can tell there is a memory leak in Windows 8.1 (the OS I have), but what seems to have been the solution for other people isn't working for me. I've scanned for a virus, looked for malware, looked to see if for some reason ESET security installed itself (it hasn't), I've disabled SDU.sys and I've checked my Qualcomm driver. Nothing so far has worked.
If anyone have some advice I'd really appreciate it. As I said, my patience has run out and my computer is very slow. I only have a handful of programmes installed and they're not supposed to use that much RAM. My guess is that it should be a driver of something that is messing things up and I don't have the patience to update all of them - and these programmes that promise to update them all or find the problem, with the only catch being that after you spent 20 minutes downloading it and then running a scan - you have to pay $30 to buy a license isn't really working for me.
My processes window looks like this:
I tried to think back when this memomry leak started, it was earlier today, and i've been using my BRAND NEW computer from around Thursday. The only thing I can think of that I did today was install 3 add-ons for Firefox, adblocker, DWhelper and VideoDownloader, but I doubt it's a plug-in of Firefox using all of my RAM but it might be possible.
I have an Intel Core i7 - 4790 3.60 GHz with 8 gb DDR RAM and also the 64 bit 8.1 Windows Pro running. Graphics card is a Gigabyte G1 gaming GTX 970 4 GB and the motherboard is a gigabyte z97x-gaming 5. When I installed the motherboard it installed a few programmes like Killer Network Manager (some people have said that if you Enable Bandwidth Control on KNM that it causes a memory leak, but mine has been disabled since day 1), REALtek and all those default programmes.
Any help would be appreciated guys. As I said, it takes me ages to load a website, nevermind trying to update drivers etc.
I have all of my drivers up to date as far as I am aware - but there's probably a problem with one of them.
