Memory fills up to 90% and never goes down with Truecrypt - on or off!
Hi!
first post! I have been using truecrypt on my win7 ultimate x64 with 4gb RAM, usually I have 15%-30% memory used when idling or with firefox open. When I mount a truecrypt volume, the memory hits 90% and everything slows down. Even shutting down truecrypt fully doesn't help.. a full reboot is the only way. Checking memory usage in task manager shows no application using much memory, just that 90% is being used.. It's a strange problem.. does anyone have any ideas? thanks! |

Is volume in a "container" (or TrueCrypt file) on an otherwise normal NTFS drive? Is drive an external - USB, whatever? Is the TrueCrypt volume very large - say larger than 1 TB and nearly full?
It is either a too large volume with too many files or due to the external drive driver interacting with TrueCrypt. An internal drive with a 1TB volume and 2/3 full of files causes no problem here. An external USB 3.0 drive with a 2.5 TB volume and 3/4 full gets the same results you are getting, especially when copying or backing up for long periods. |

All memory used when copying files from Truecrypt container I'm in the process of moving data from a WD 3TB USB drive to a larger WD 5TB USB drive, so there is a LOT of data to move around. While this is in all probability a Truecrypt (TC) issue, it doesn't hurt to ask anyway! I have a quad core i7 pc with Win 7 Home and 16GB RAM, which is the limit for... |

Physical memory fills up FAST (89% in under a hour) So I've recently had this problem. My physical memory starts off around 25% and fills up to 80-90% within an hour. I've done an In depth Virus scan of everything on my computer. My anti-virus software is ESET NOD32 ANTI-VIRUS. I have never had this problem before and my computer is 4 years old. I... |

Cached fills up physical memory From the moment I turn on my computer the cached memory slowly goes higher and higher until it gets to 90%+ physical memory usage and I have to restart. I'm really not good with computers so I have no idea what's going on. |

Physical memory suddenly fills up, computer slows down My HP desktop suddely slowed down for no reason -- to a "snail's pace" -- and I opened windows task manager and saw that the memory was 99% full. Restarting solves it for a few minutes, then it happens again. I've run Anti-virus (Avira says I have "multiple hidden files") -- and I need another... |

Cache memory fills up RAM so I can't play performance heavy games Hello, I have a really powerful gaming rig with Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz, Crucial C300 64GB SSD and 8 gigs of RAM which most would think is more than enough to run even the most performance demanding of games. I was playing COD: Blackops the other day and Windows told me it had to close some... |
