Sudden memory lose
hi there, it kinda long story but i think that it will be import to tell it all...
i had a black out something like 3 months ago that killed my old PSU, i end up replaced the PSU (Thermaltake Toughpower 750W) and the GPU (Geforce 295 GTX Gigabyte) to solve my issue and don't had pc for some long time. eventaully i replaced them with Geforce 295 GTX from XFX and AcBel R88 1100W. after that i planned to formatted my pc cause the OS was out of stability anyway but i wanted to try some stuff before, when i tried video games they all suddenly crushed for me with TDRs, black screens, and made the win7 Aero to turn off randomly no matter which driver i tried (and yea... i done clean install to them before) so i thought to myself that it probably the OS that out of stability and since i planned to format it anyway i don't really was worried about it, then i decided to try some win7 updates that i ignored so far because i saw in posts that they gave users hard time, when i tried update KB2607576 (i assume it was it name at least cause i tried 2 system updates) i notice that my monitor enter to power saving mode for 1 sec each time i start up the pc, i thought that when i format and reinstall it this update will be fine since that how it happened to me so far with MC updates.
i finally formatted the pc, installed all the updates, and had this power saving mode issue+ black desktop issue for 5 secs randomly.
after that i notice that my video games still TDRs and BSOD so i re-send my GPU to replacment assuming that this card don't want to get along with any driver i tried (the last driver btw did fix alot of stuff like alot of BSOD (i even had them when i told Win7 to scan for my spec points for god sake) and fix the random Areo issues that was turning off, but still had alot of issues here and there)
anyway i replaced one of my HDDs that had 160 GB to one with 1TB and change my card to some MSI 9400 GT card temporary, deleted update KB2607576 in safe mode since it was too late to do system restore, and before 4 days ago when i downloaded alot of stuff i've notice that my ram ran up to 60%, which can be pretty normal, however after i turn off all of my download programs the ram still was on 60%! after i restart it was on 45%-50% and not was on it usual 37% like it allways was when i don't use the pc.
for the last 4 days my ram don't want to go back to 37%, only when i refresh the virtual memory and do restart it goes back to 37% for 5 mins and then jump again to 45+ for no dam reason.... i can't determinate what is the process that start to take so much ram.. but i think that it only system process. i also notice that the ram take more time to go down when i close any applications that used it....
i check in the Bios and don't saw anything wrong but i rest it to default anyway just to be sure (and no, i don't OC)
what going on? there is any way that someone here can help me find the cause for that issue? : O
i had that pc for 2 years , i've formatted it really alot and installed on it the total same programs and never had this kind of issue. could this be hardware issue and not software issue? or even realte to my new HDD or the temporary GPU?
