My PC is running slower than normal & looking at task manager my physical memory usage is at peak.
Anyone got any ideas as to how i can sort this ?

TIA

 

Start, my computer, right click on it and go properties, go to advanced, performance and then advanced again. You will vertual memory option click on change and increase the amount, choose set and then ok everything.

Oops you stated physical memory, stick some more in in that case or see proccess is taking all the memory.

 

I think much better option and wise is buying more RAM.

 

How will i know what ram to buy ?
By the way i only run FM10, a couple of web pages & WMP & its never had that problem before .... would my anti virus be taking up the extra ?

 

Counted it all up & its half of what its using

 

First off I'd try disabling everything from your start up - you can always re-enable things that you really need but chances are there are lots of processes starting up and going on in the background that don't really need to be.

Go to Start -> Run, type msconfig and hit Enter. Now, go to the Startup tab and disable everyhting in there. Then, go to the Services tab, check the "Hide all Microsoft services" and then click "Disable All".

Restart your machine and check how it's running and if there is anything you need re-enable. It may also be worth noting the number of running processes in task manager both before and after you do this to see how many you actually managed to get rid of.

 

Thank you. Problem solved.

 

Back to normal. Need to go & order some more RAM.
