Right this is for a friend not myself he just asked me to post it so bare with me on the details.

Recently he's had a lot of problems with his memory getting stuck after playing games or randomly after running demanding programs and just not returning to normal after closing said programs/games. He checked the memory it was fine even did a clean install of windows and it still did it. It's also not showing up in Task Manager whats using all the memory and i haven't a clue what to suggest as I've never had a problem.

Btw PC spec is as follows
Amd phenom x4 940
Asus Crosshair 2 Mobo
8gig Crucial Ballastix 800mhz
Evga gtx 285
and windows vista with SP2
500GB WD
CORSAIR 850W PSU

EDIT:
Would the pc still trying to read a floppy drive that is not longer there be the cause?
 
From what my friend tells me it does seem to hinder performance. I must admit my Win 7 uses about 28% of my 4gig but no noticeable decrease in performance that I've seen. I've even tried convincing him to upgrade to Windows 7 from his vista but to no avail lol.
