    Memory Leak


    I think i have a memory leak, everytime i leave my computer idling for a few hours all my memory is taken by something and the system becomes very slow until i free it up using a memory cleaning software.

    here's what task manager shows me:

    +1 It's the most likely cause. Try disabling or uninstalling ESET and see if the problem changes.

    I think i figured out the problem, i unchecked every program and non-microsoft service that starts up with windows, did a restart and so far the memory is not climbing. I'll list the services and programs i had, so if someone in the future will have this problem they can try this.

    Services:
    AMD External Events Utility
    ServiceLayer (app for Nokia phones)
    Steam Client Service

    Programs:
    Daemon Tools Lite
    razerhid application
    PCSuite (nokia)
    Windows Sidebar
    Catalyst Control Center
    fortemanager (LG monitor app)


    EDIT: nope, my memory is still climbing to full the more i use the computer
