I have I7 @4.2HT
6Gig of pc22000 memory
Tpower X58 chipset

and when i use my system for quite a wile the memory keeps going up and up and up
its like everything i use on the system doesnt free memory when i shut them down

then my system finaly gets to about 95% memory useage and then halts to a crawl
doesnt crash just runs really really slow.

what could be causeing this issue.
 
What AV are you using? My windows 7 pro 64 bit install can sometimes do the same but it never impacts performance.

I take it you have dropped back to stock levels just to run out the OC? It shouldn't affect it but it's an easy one to cross off the list and rules out temp issues from it.
 
can say with 100% certainty that the issue isnt caused by OC as i have tryed default and oc`d both the same.

i will post up a picture of my performance monitor once my system is slowing down due to memory usage.

av im useing is nod32, i cant see it being the issue.
 
As you can see something is zapping all my memory and if i shut down all my programs im running like win media player and opera and stuff it makes not diffrence cause my memory doesnt return.

its like my system is memory leaking or being used and not being returned when programs are shutdown..

What do you tend to run?
I know what processes have been running, but what have you used and then closed? Any freeware/shareware? Any DA:O origins been played? GTA4 has memleaks I think, LOTRo used to have but I haven't seen any in ages.

I don't think that's relevant, he has no open processes that are using that much ram, leaky or not. The number of hard faults mean that its doing a lot of paging too...
 
yeah its weird becuse i cant find out what process`s are actually useing up all my memory its like something hidden in my system is zapping stuff up

when i get into windows 7 from a reboot and everything is loaded it only uses 27% of my memory.

but as i gradualy run opera and windows media player and ps3 media server aswell as downloading useing newsleecher ect ect gradually my memory gets bigger and bigger and bigger and even if i shut all that stuff down the memory doesnt return.
 
Got many 3rd party sidebar plugins? I had one that leaked like a sieve ended up removing it and no problems now.
 
Try booting it and just letting it sit there for a while and see if the memory usage increases as before. At least that'll tell you whether it's something you're doing or something that's starting with Windows. Suspect the latter but no harm in testing it to be sure.
 
From Testing Ect

its definatly not a issue with just sitting there as my memory wont increese unless i start to use the system

if i let it idle memory stays the same.

How do i find out what gadget could be causeing it becuse all i have in the task manager ect ect is a setting called SIDEBAR but doesnt tell me what is being used lol
 
I was getting this the other weekend after a fresh install but it has sorted itself now. Maybe it's an MS patch going wrong or something?
