Hey guys I have 6GB of ram in my sig rig and for some reason while surfing the web I noticed on my G15 that I was using 70% of my memory. I restarted and it stays at a constant 27% after a fresh restart and it wont go down past that. My memory used to stay around 3-4% but as I type this I have 2 tabs open in firefox and Power ISO running and I am suing 82% of memory. I know something is wrong cause there is no way I am really using all this memory, it's not like I have Photoshop or some video editing app open. Can someone tell me what I can do to see what is using all my memory or maybe theres an app that can show me.

Yes, hit ctrl+shft+esc, arrange the order so that the app using highest amount of memory is placed at the very top, then post a snap.

Something sounds definitely wrong though. And you should be scanning for trojans/viruses/worms/malware at this point.

You know Windows 7 caches Commonly used programs right?

Superfetch or whatever it's called

but that usually maxes out around 50% or so. There is definitely a program that is being used, do the CTRL ALT DEL and check the applications in use.

Here's a snapshot of my memory usage. SVChost is eating up the most memory but after that is usually firefox

I think Vista might do this too? I duno, I'm using 2.55GB with only 1GB registered in task manager.

There's your problem. It causes memory leaks when mounting/installing images. Unmount the image and it should return to normal, or just use Virtual Clone Drive.

Already did but it still says 28% after a fresh restart. No drives mounted, I am about to check for malware or viruses

28% after a restart is normal. Win7 will reserve about 30% of your ram-- no mater how much you have-- for your day-to-day programs.
