I have had my MSI GT70-20C laptop for almost a year now but recently I have been having trouble with performance drops due to the over use of memory. This occurs when i start doing activity or even running low intensity games.
My laptop has 8Gb or Ram and even on start-up it is using 77% of memory. This doesn't sound right to me and it is only recently that I have noticed a drop in performance. The only real major background activity is from my BitDefender, but even then it is only using 200MB. Could you guys please have a look and see what other stuff does not need to be running or killing my memory?
I have attached some screenshots of my processes in task manager to try and narrow down what is need and which is not. Please ask for more details if required.
As i do not have enough reputation to add photos or more then 2 links please refer to my question at stackoverflow for more detail.
Answer
Thank you Scott Chamberlain for suggested the RAMMap application. I downloaded it and found that i had a 4GB driver lock. After taking some time to think what could be the reason for this, i revisited my Hyper-V and found i had a virtual CRM server with a dedicated 4GB allocated to it! Been running for 4 months without me realising!!
