Hey guys my comp is as per sig and recently on boot up i am getting the computor low on memory message telling me to shutdown some programs to clear memory but nowt but windows 7 Pro is running, so rather than mess about with swapping ram about i was thinking of a ram change would this work ok and would i be better filling the four ram slots as i have just now..

Somethings wrong if its using nearly 16GB at boot!

Open task manager then resource monitor and see whats using it all, is windows upto date?? There was a patch due to a memory leak and i'm sure it was on win7

Also open cpuz memory tab just to make sure that all 16gb are there.

It would appear that when Boinc/seti@home is running at startup there is only 1Gb ram free. So i will try to stop that from running on startup and see if that cures it....

If you dont want it to run at start up, just goto the start menu and in the text box type msconfig and enter, select services and uncheck the boinc box, apply, ok, restart.

Ok ran msconfig and stopped the 2 boinc programs and on restart the warning did not appear, so will watch it for a few days.. Thanks for your help Nickolp1974..
