When I leave my computer running for a while, maybe while watching a movie, maybe just as it starts up, maybe it never happens before I shut it down, ram usage goes to 99% usage.
When this happens windows begins to swap memory to the page file, which makes the drive that has it work at 100%. At least now It's in a hard drive, it was in an ssd before, awful idea to have it working at 100%. At these times my pc becomes sluggish, can't do anything and have to reboot, sometimes forcing it is the only option.
I contacted support, they took control of my pc, run a chkdsk which did nothing (perhaps somehow break the displayport connection of my monitor).
I asked this question a while ago, the only answer was to run performance recorder while the problem occured but it proved impossible to run and all events where dropped.
As I write this I can see my ram filling up, I don't know what with, but there it goes.
I've had this problem only on windows 8, 8.1 and 10, never in 7.
hulp, thanks.
