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. |

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. |
