I am having weird issues lately of lag, freezes, and crashes to black screen. When I boot to desktop, it says I’m using 8GB of RAM. I have very little installed and removed a lot of stuff, and it still says 8GB at boot time.
I noticed earlier when I came back in my room after a quick break, that I had task manager opren to processes tab, and it was reporting a process called System accessing my disk heavy and said 400MBs. And using a lot of memory. I don’t recall the amount, I was focused on on the high disk usage.
I ran Malwarebytes with no issues, and ran the FRST64 for the logs.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You don’t have virus infection and with 32GiB RAM it is usual that Windows take over 4GiB RAM. As for issues you are experinecing, check your hardware starting from PSU and graphics card.
Thank you for your help.
I booted into safe mode and I’m now only using 1.6GB, pagefile says 1.4GB. If they add up together, then that’s 3.0GB
I reboot to normal boot and it now says 7.4GB RAM, and 10.2 GB pagefile, so that would be 17.6 GB total.
I know safe mode will eliminate a lot of drivers, but that would have to be a lot of drivers.
But it used to take about 3GB of RAM before all of these issues.
Maybe something is corrupt? Is there some sort of scan or something I can check what is going on?
I do have a logitech steering wheel and it’s app.
Maybe Windows maybe hardware. Start with testing hardware first.
