Im Looking For A Pc Fixing Programme, Any Ideas?

[RATTER15]

Im having low memory problems, although I have 4 gig on board and very little in the start up list.
I keep getting a message stating that I have low memory.

Are you sure the messages are about your RAM memory and not your hard disk?

I would have thought 4Gb was plenty for everyday work, or are you doing something compute intensive?

Is your hard disk full up or nearly full up?

The reason I ask about your hard disk being full up is that if Windows finds it is running short of RAM memory it copies parts of RAM memory out to hard disk (then copies it back in later) - it is called "swapping".

So if your hard disk is full up then Windows has nowhere to copy out RAM memory for swapping.

Make sure your hard disk has plenty of room, Windows always need hard disk memory for temporary files and so on.

MOVE (not copy) personal files you no longer need out to an external hard drive or memory stick (or delete them). Video files tend to be the largest.

Make sure your hard disk has lots of spare space, particularly if you have a laptop with a small SSD drive (some only come with 32Gb or 64Gb of SSD).

I have to 218 Gb free, so not that.

What operating system and if Windows, what version?
What is giving you the message, in my experience, Windows rarely tells you, just works slower and slower.

Does taskmanager throw up any results on high resource usage.

Im running windows 10 Pro Version 1703

There appears to be no excessive usage and nothing installed recently to cause this.

Go into Task Manager (Ctrl, Alt, Del ) and see which Prog is using up most memory.

Rowan, thats the problem, nothing much using the memory, Ive already checked, about the highest user on there is Google chrome.

Don't know If this will help Ratter but worth a read.

Try a Defrag, using Windows 10 internal one. It may help, as we have it set to Auto Defrag, weekly

Weird. Is your RAM still seated correctly ?
Try running Memtest 86 on it to check all's well.

Also, ensure you're looking at all processes when using task manager.

If you have just installed the new create update on windows 10. I was getting low memory reminds in new notifications window bottom right of screen. Just ignore them you have nothing wrong with your system. One of M/Soft **Up will be getting fixed on next update in 6 months time.

I think I solved the problem by increasing the cache space available.

Thanks all.
