RAM Trouble - System Hanging
Hey guys! I'm new here (obviously). Just got one small issue that I'm hoping someone here may be able to sort out.
I've been running into system hanging issues due to the RAM being maxed out when doing certain activities. For instance, if I run JDownloader and it downloads for excessive amounts of time (usually overnight) I wakeup to a frozen system. I also do some work using After Effects and when I render the final movie ( a large one) it gets about halfway through and maxes out the RAM.
Under normal operation the system uses about 1.21GB of RAM with anywhere from 57-60 processes running, amd 30% usage of Physical memory. I've read in another thread that these numbers are somewhat normal for Windows 7 operation. What I can't figure out is why there is a sudden spike in RAM useage when performing certain tasks like I listed.
Any ideas? Or do you require more info?
System Specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.40GHz
4.00 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8800GS
mmm.. What else do you need?
