is there a reason why when i run a programe like antivirus scan or adaware my cpu dosent use all of its capabilities to speed up the scanning process?
for instance with firefox, adaware scanning and what ever progs are in the back ground running my cpu usage is still at a steady 5%, why isnt that upto say 70% so the scan will be done a lot quicker?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I first boot up the machine and start using it (win 7 ultimate 64bit) the memory usage stays arround 40%. If I keep using it, the memory usage will slowly increase until it reaches 99%. If I boot up the machine and just leave it there for a couple of hours, the same happens.I try to restart (via windows), it logs off, shuts down the system, the coolers keep spinning, the motherboard lights are still on, but it doesn't boot up again. It remains like that. I have to restart via reset button or power button.

My Audiodg.exe process is currently using 2,786,070 kB (not just normal bytes, kilobytes) of Ram. 2.66gb+ of Ram! I have searched the web as well as this site for any problems. My audio is working fine though... I have no idea why this using so much ram. Im guessing a memory leak of some kind... I restartand it starts off at a normal pace...
View 9 Replies View RelatedNow that the whole "bitstory" is clear to me, I've got another question.
At the moment I've got a Windows Vista 32 bit version and 4 GB of RAM.
32 bit Windows 7 requires at least 1 GB of RAM, but can only use around 3.5 RAM.
64 bit Windows 7 requires at least 2 GB of RAM, but can use larger amounts of RAM.
Now whats best for me?
Buy a 64 version so I can use my full amount of RAM (but loose 2GB for the OS)
or just upgrade to a 32 bit version, neglecting the 0.5 RAM that Windows cant use?
(how much RAM does Windows 7 (32/64) use in an idle situation?)
When I turn on or restart my PC after everything is loaded the task manager says I'm using 25% of my Ram. After two or three days my ram usage goes up to 50% while just sitting there.
It never really goes up past 50-55% but I want to know why it starts at 25% and then goes to 50%.
Ok so my computer is acting up , at first i thought it was a ram issue , but when i am only use 1 gb of ram ( i have 2 gb) my cpu usage goes to 100 then drops to 30 then back to 60 and so on , even on start up it goes to around 50% without anything opened. So i tick the show all process on my task manger and i see alot of svchost , more than 6 running, should i be worried, i heard some of them could be a virus and i also MsMpeng.exe running and it uses 50,000 usage, it uses more memory than google chrome. both svchost and MsMpeng.exe worries me , iknow svchost is safe but it also good be a virus.

How can I fix it (preferably without paying for anything)?

Computer has gradually slowed more and more. Can't run more than a couple aps at once without it slowing to the point it is useless. At start up with no aps launched RAM usage is 83+%. What is going on now that was not a couple months ago? I have poked around in Task Manager but do not really understand what I am seeing there. Windows 7. I updated to IE 9. I have Norton Internet Security. I have run Malwarebytes, Smart Defrag 2 and Advanced SystemCare 4.

Specs : win7 homebasic 64 bit 4gb ram, 500 gb hdd corei3... for few months my cpu usage rocks to 100% with minimal usage.. i thought it is heating issue.. cleaned fan. it helped only for few weeks then i would just kill process tree from which have high usage from task manager.
this problem happens everytime.. had tried hp recovery, system restore to prev time. factory reset.
I don't know if I'm just overthinking/worrying too much about my laptop, but my CPU usage lately seems to idle between 10 and 30% even when I'm not doing much. I've noticed that TeaTimer.exe (Spybots real time protection) seems to hog some of this, and I'm not sure if I need it since I have Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware installed. I've also noticed Firefox to be very laggy but this could well be a seperate issue. Also on startup my computer does seem to take up to five minutes to settle down after logging in.What can I do or what should I be checking?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI always wondering why did I have low fps in game until I restart my laptop. After installing MSI Afterburner, I realize that when I turn on my laptop, my GPU won't pass 70% in game(that means low fps). Restart fix the problem(95% all the time and no fps drop), but I didn't want to restart everytime I turn on my laptop. This is not random and happen all the time when I turn on my computer for the first time.
ASUS K43SJ

p.s : Nvidia driver is the latest version, I tried reinstall/rollback new/old driver but it didn't fix the problem.
I Downloaded windows Windows 7 and i like it but it use so much of the ram.
I have 2 Gb of ram and i only use msn, AVG antivirus program and the internet and it use 740 mb of the ram, this is 32-bit.
if i use Windows vista ultimate 64-bit and use the same program then i use about 700-800 mb of the ram..
I'm on the RTM build (one of the custom "touched" builds) and I've noticed that my RAM usage seems to rise the longer I'm on.
For instance: Yesterday I came home from work and started my machine. After startup the RAM was at around 27% just idling. I then checked my mails, looked at various news sites, and then browsed this forum, all the while playing music through Winamp.
At this point my RAM was around 31% which seems fine as I was doing various things at once.
I then closed Firefox and , leaving Winamp playing music (no visualization), sat back in my chair to read the newspaper.
After about an hour of this I returned to the pc to put on some different music and my RAM is at 40%!
After another hour or so it was at 42%.
It's not Winamp related or music related as I noticed the same thing the other day when I had literally closed all major apps and just had the desktop up.
So it just seems that it is length of time related.
When I run windows 7 idle, I get somewhere in the neighborhood from 600 MB used (for a second or two after start up) to about 900 MB used. This is from an idle computer running no programs, with Windows Classic theme and thus (I believe) Aero disabled, but it seems a little high. I've heard of people getting their netbooks to run on 250 mb idle and other nice numbers, and I'd like the same for my laptop (if possible).
I'm running an Intel C2D 2.33 GHz laptop with 4GB of RAM with Windows 7 RC 7100 x64. RAM is limited to 3.37 GB, because the motherboard doesn't address that high (turning on PAE and turning off DEP haven't helped the issue).
I understand that the fact I have so much RAM could be why Windows 7 is being liberal with its use, but I thought I would see if there were any tricks I could pull to get such low numbers. I've not gone through Black Viper's service list yet, so that may yield some results, bu I don't think it would yield a 400-700 MB difference.
