    High RAM Usage. I'm Wondering Why?


    I recently installed ESET Smart Security, and now my RAM usage went from nil to 50%. I'm not sure if ESET is the culprit because I didn't notice it after the install, but I'd like to figure out what's going on. I did have to repair the GUI on ESET but still that wouldn't account for it. I use a laptop and I upgraded the RAM from 4gb to 8gb when I bought it because it was cheap and I was already throwing an SSD in it, so I don't know how it is using that much memory. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    Uninstall ESET, restart the computer and then check your RAM usage. You can always re-install ESET later.

    Hum mate what model is the Toshiba? Plus what do you have on start up take a loo at msconfig and see what is listed in Start up I only keep security ticked in my two Toshibas and well all of my machines.

    By the same token I reckon Username has given you the best option

Hello everyone, I've been having a very weird problem recently, in which I BELIEVE is involving high physical memory usage.

I've been having this problem now for an year or so now. It started when I upgraded my connection from 8/1 ADSL to 100/10 cable (so the problem wasn't noticeable even if it was there before) and when I download at high speeds (in steam, for example) my CPU usage jumps to 80% and higher, and my pc...
This problem began yesterday. I noticed my CPU was at 90C constantly with very high CPU usage (>50%). I had no major programs running. I rebooted several times and the program persisted. 1. I went into safe mode and everything was normal. So this rules out hardware issues. 2. I reformatted and...
Ok, I am literally KILLING myself over this! I installed Windows 7 64Bit over XP around a month ago and it was so good that I recommended it to my brother who was previously on XP too. We got him a copy of the 32bit version as he has only 2gb of memory, and he installed it on his machine....
