SVHost Using alot of ram (5gb)

[Exeagle]

Hey guy's for some odd reason my computer has been idling so loudly like im installing some performance draining program

i closed all my program's and went to the desktop and for some reason my sv host's are going nut's using so much ram for no reason (i have no game's runing) everything was closed) i might of had steam and origin open in the back ground (on process) but that's about it

I also use avast as an antivirus (also use payed version of ) Malwarebyte's

(also use) C cleaner (spybot search and destory) and that's about it i think..

well, u don't give us much info on your computer, you should probably fill in your system specs, here's how http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/180324-system-info-see-your-system-specs.html your desktop is VERY crowded BTW, which gives me some ideas on what's going on

 

[d00p98uy]

Click the start button and type in msconfig into the search box and press enter, then click on the startup tab, disable all the services you don't need starting up with your computer, if it's intel, or think it's something from windows, probably shouldn't disable it (I don't know if AMD has any special drivers that boot with your computer) Any programs that don't seem to be from a trusted source it should be immediately removed from your computer, if you have any questions, just ask.

You have to remember that svchost is what the name implies a service host meaning it hosts other services.
Follow this Tutorial and upload Screenshots.

You may also upload a photo or image as you would a file, without using the Snipping tool.

[d00p98uy]

can you post some pics here on the services and startup in msconfig please

 

[Britton30]

In the rb: search field type resmon and hit enter, go to the Memory tab. Look through the list for svchost entries to tell you what is using the RAM. I've placed a red dot next to what you're looking for.

Time to pull out the big guns.

Download | Process Explorer.

Launch Process Explorer (if you have a short list,
click "Show Processes From All Users" the right most option in the top bar):

• Arrange "Working Set" (by clicking on the top of that column) Take a screenshot.
• Arrange "Private Bytes" (by clicking on the top of that column) Take a screenshot.
• Arrange "CPU" (by clicking on the top of that column) Take a screenshot.

And upload the screen shots, just make sure you can see the entire service / process name!

Ha ha I think he's working on one .

View attachment 282789

this is what showed up in all the svhost

 

[Britton30]

If I added right the total for all the svchost items add up to 1.17GB. If you go to the title and slide the description column over, you can see what each one is. In that snip it all looks normal. I have a total of 19 svchost.exe processes running.

You can click the "" in the windows to make then easier to read, the huge ones are difficult.

well if it's normal then i don't know what im even worrying about then C: i just thought using 5gb ram on idle isn't normal but i suppose it is, i don't realy know much about computer's so yea haha thank you

 

[Britton30]

Well 5GB does seem a little excessive, but in your snip it was fine. Now you at least know how to see which svchost.exe eats up the RAM if it happens again.
