RAM Usage At 96% 10 Mins After Boot Up?

Sep 19, 2012

My friend has an HP Presario notebook which she is having trouble with and asked me to take a look at it.In short, its Win 7 x64 Home Premium with 2GB RAM and an Intel Celeron CPU (i forget which model of CPU).Unit boots fine, and logs on, but what struck me was it was very very slow. brought up task manager and checked the performance tab and the CPU was fluctuating between a relatively low level of 4% - 10% but sometimes did shoot up to 50% - to be honest, with it being a Celeron I kinda figured this could be "normal" as its not exactly a brilliant chip. - other opinions welcomed on that pointHowever, the Memory usage as up at 1.35GB and continued to rise to 1.89GB - the machine only has 2GB of RAM and it literally took about 10 minutes to do anything.

I did the usual, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan - found nothing - Removed the rubbish Norton and installed MS Security Essentials - scanned - found nothing.Removed any and all of the HP Cackware and anything else that looked odd. The finally I removed a lot of rubbish from the MSCONFIG.Rebooted the machine and checked Task Manager again - this time, instead of 88 processes running, I only had 63 running - but yet again, RAM usage was up at 1.35GB. The HDD is not full and has plenty of space.So I felt stumpedDid some reading online and set the value to 1 in the registry.After changing the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value, when I booted back into Windows, the RAM usage was down to 837MB and fluctuated upto abour 1.3GB thought I had sussed it. So one more time I ran MS Security essentials for one last scan - it again found no issue but immediateley after doing this, the RAM usage shot right back upto 1.89GB and above and the problem instantly returned.

Windows 7 40 Mins To Boot

Aug 25, 2011

I have a PC I purchased in September 2010. Its a reasonably high spec Intel i5 760 (overclocked) running Windows 7. It been working fine up until yesterday when I decided to reboot as there were one or to windows updates required.The PC did reboot but only after 40 minutes spending most of that time with 'Starting windows' logo. When it does eventually boot everything seems to work well apart from itunes which also takes 30 or 40 minutes to start.

Sep 28, 2011

when I boot up my computer it stays in a black screen for about 3 minutes then moves to the logo screen where it stays there for another 3-4 minutes then finally gets to my desktop.I have a hunch of what it has to do with but could be wrong.I ran diskeeper (defrager program) and it mentioned something about sound driversI just went along with it and just ran it (foolish now I know)Ever since it has finished and I went to turn on my laptop again this boot up lag hasoccurred.

Windows 7 BSOD Daily 30-45 Mins After Boot 0x1000008e

Feb 20, 2011

Every morning about 30-45 minutes after boot the computer BSOD. Looking at the Nirsoft bluescreen review its caused most of the time by Threatfire which is a PCTools file the antivirus run on the machine.

Back in December prior to PCTools I had Microsoft AV on and AVG each seemed to cause the same problem.

I've run the windows 7 memory check but if I change it to run more than 2 times it freezes and never completes. Spybot, PCtools, Sophos, never found any significant threats

HW:
Macbook air late 2008
2gb ram
Intel core 2 duo
Windows 7 enterprise 32bit

My next step is to try turning off Threatfire, effectively shutting of the antivirus.

X-64 Install Via USB -- 15 Mins Completed

May 13, 2009

On a Laptop with 4G RAM and Dual T7250 CPU install time for Clean install of Rc x-64 build 7100 took just over 15 Mins when booted up from a USB stick .

OK I have to install applications and find one or two drivers etc (you always have to do that anyway) but the "Base" install really didn't take long at all.

Maybe a USB should be an "Optional" install medium.

Was a great trick to run the "BOOTSECT" command from the "Install" DVD to get the bootsector on to the USB disk.

Now I've got a nice fast portable method of installing from a USB stick.

Now to see if it works on a Netbook with no internal DVD drive.

-- It does -- but beware there's no Prompt on the boot so if you re-boot during the setup it will start again from scartch so remove the USB stick after the first boot and insert it again quickly before the setup continues. I.E insert the USB stick again at the boot splash screen.

BSOD After Every 40-50 Mins Error 0x0000003b

May 29, 2012

im tryingto fix my crashing error with the code 0x0000003b. I recently built a PC little by little using an older PC. I would swap out parts on the old one as I received them. Looking back on it now I regret not just performing a one time swap. Everything is new except for dvd drive and hard drive and the windows that was on the hard drive. (I used sysprep.exe to prepare the windows install for the out of box experience then reactivated windows. I did this about 3 weeks ago. Every since I fired up I have been having regular crashes every 40-50 minutes after using the keyboard. I thought it was a driver so I went to the sites of every new product i bought and got new drivers and even went through the device manger and updated drivers for everything in their but still no luck. I also checked that everything hardware wise was connected and re-seated. I ran memtest with no errors for more than 7 passes. I got rid of Norton and replaced with Microsoft essentials. It was weird because I only got the actual blue screen twice and it was during gta IV, but spat out the same error code. normally the screen goes into lines and the audio skips then it restarts. It doesn't appear to happen in safe mode or when I use my xbox controller. I then thought it was something wrong with my mouse, keyboard which is a logitech mx3200 keyboard and a logitech mx600 mouse both wireless. I tried using a different keyboard and mouse but still same problems. I attached dump files and system health below. I hope one of you smarter-than-me gentlemen can see something I don't. The blue screen view program spits out the same error code: 0x0000003b and always highlights ntoskrnl.exe and another driver/program like: usbohci.exe, VirtDiskBus64.exe, blbdrvie.exe, and RTKVHD.exe and etc.

*ERROR 0xc000000e* - PC Crashes After 30 Mins Or So?

Jun 26, 2012

Recently I came home to find my pc on this black screen with a few things on it such as-"Windows failed to start, this could be due to a recent software or hardware change"-"a required boot device was inaccessible"-"error 0xc000000e"Now my pc consistently crashed after running fine for roughly 30-40mins. I researched this error but most people say they cant boot at all and repairing Windows solved it.Well I can boot, so finding a answer to my problem has been difficult.So far, I've tried repairing Windows and also re-installing Windows, just to make sure it isn't OS or driver related.

Computer Slows Down For 1-5 Mins About 5-20mins After Start Up

Oct 24, 2012

My computer, about 5-20 minutes after start up, slows down so much that I can hardly do anything for 5 minutes. I either A) wait it out till my computer goes back to running normally (takes 1-5 minutes) or hold my off button and restart (or actually shut down the normal way but it takes forever) but upon restarting the same thing happens again.I have no idea whats causing this. When its happening I check my CPU usage and its nothing unusual (0-30%). I have scanned with Malwarebytes (nothing), Microsoft Security Essentials (nothing), and Superantispyware (deleted a few adware cookies). Besides this slow down period, I see no other symptoms of malware. The only weird thing is for some reason I always get PC Issue in the bottom right hand corner that says Windows Defender/MSE is off, and asks me to turn one of them on, but I already have MSE running. I click the issue and tell it to turn on and update MSE, after which it stops bugging me but it comes back at least sometimes after I restart.The computer: a 2-3 year old dell laptop, been dropped a couple times but I've never had that cause problems before, windows 7.

Computer Freezes For 1-3 Mins, 'comes Back' As If Nothing Happened?

Jun 12, 2012

Lately, its been happening when I've been playing Diablo 3, however it has happened when surfing the internet with Chrome. There is no indication of when it will happenAlways happens at random. The computer freezes completely and the sound goes on an infinite loop. Eventually it magically comes back as if nothing happened at all. No error messages popping up from my system tray(for example, I don't see a "Nvidia Driver has recovered from an error")I don't have any crash dumps/error logs to share at this moment, as I am posting from work. So this thread is a bit of a place holder for later so I can update it with relevant information if you need it[CODE]

New Build Randomly Reboots After ~5 Mins During OS Installation

Jan 23, 2012

I've got my new build all setup and tried to install Windows 7 Professional 64bit. (System specs posted at bottom)

First attempt:My computer allowed me to get to drive selection and partition formatting without a selection and then shut off and proceeded to restart itself.

Second Attempt:Chose my drive, un-formatted, and got to the second step of OS installation (forgot the name i know its right after 'Copying Windows Files') and then proceeded to shut off and self restart.

Third attempt:Same as first attempt.

I've done more attempts but they have all ended just like my first and second attempt. I've tried taking out a few sticks of memory to check for bad memory (all tested working), installing on different drives to check for a bad drive (both tested working), updated the BIOS, lowering speed on memory, formatting both drives, and stripped my motherboard to where only the necessities were present in order to run the machine. The results have all been the same, looping random crashes and self restarts during the OS installation. Have even tried installing Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Same results.

System Specs:

Motherboard - ASRock P67 Fatal1ty Professional Series
CPU - Intel i7-2600k 3.4ghz (liquid cooled, sits at 32 C)
Memory - G.Skill Ripjaw X DDR3 1866 (4x4gb)
Video Card - Sapphire Radeon 6970 2gb
SSD - OCZ Vertex3 120gb (OS installation drive)
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5TB 6.0gb/s 7200 RPM
PSU - Corsair Enthusiast series TX750w V2 (single rail)

Dell XPS Windows 7 Computer Hanging For 10-15 Mins?

Jun 13, 2012

I have a peculiar problem with my lappy. Once I start it the system runs for sometime (usually for 15mins to 1-2hours) and then it suddenly hangs for 15-20mins. When the system hangs, the mouse becomes a circle and nothing seems to be moving. This problem started after I installed Spybot S & D. Although I have uninstalled S & D, the problem still persists. Currently I see some of the folders in my C drive appear like Hidden Files.

Memory Usage Gets Slow After Usage

Nov 10, 2012

When 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.

RAM Usage

Nov 28, 2009

Now 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?)
