Running PC with 40GB RAM during idle mode
Running PC with 40GB RAM during idle mode
Also consider checking the RAM map in the Sysinternals suite. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysint...ads/rammap This can help illustrate how RAM is being utilized.
The initial image reveals a significant memory leak in the non-paged pool, usually around 1GB. Since it resides in the non-paged area, standard methods won't work—you'll need a tool that reads pool tags. We use PoolMon for this purpose, but since it's command-line only, we rely on the third-party GUI PoolMonX. For precise analysis, run the tool at startup and check the results; ideally, you can capture the output and share it here. I need to verify if it identifies the correct tag.
just to clarify, the screen shows a computer that isn't just idle with Chrome and lots of unnecessary programs...
It doesn't matter if it's pool or ocean or train—snowflakes don't change the fact. RAM is RAM, and your point is clear. I just wanted to remind you to check the standby memory. Only you can share a screenshot, and feel free to add your thoughts directly to me. I'm not experiencing any RAM issues myself, and I was only highlighting that the PC isn't idle in those screenshots. This isn't a debate.
Yes, it matters since the NP pool lacks a defined origin and only carries a pool tag.
then its not the only thing that matters anyway, and i doubt that is the problem also,,at least you don't know. then provide a solution? i only know a solution for standby memory leak ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
