No, he's not causing them on purpose. He didn't set out to cripple his system's performance. He misunderstood stuff he read or got bad advice. Right this moment there might be someone on another forum asking for help to fix bad advice they got here, we aren't infallible. I hate the "debloat and speed up Windows with these weird tricks, Microsoft hates it!" guides too, but there's a dispiriting trend on this forum lately of being really rude to people asking for help after they made mistakes. Yeah, some of the mistakes people make are pretty silly, but we should be above abusing them for it, and they won't improve if we drive them away from an environment where they can learn.
Thanks for the input. Second, it's easy to point fingers when you're not sure. If you didn’t know, the first thing to try is searching online. For example, typing "windows not using all ram" should help. The advice about turning off the page file comes from someone else who also looked it up. The reason I did it was because the problem appeared during troubleshooting. As for the page file, it's mainly useful when memory runs low—it helps manage space but isn't needed otherwise. (I'm not very familiar with this, but I appreciate your guidance.)
He relied on Google for answers and constantly defended his simple choices as if they were justified. It’s clear from this discussion that Google isn’t reliable—this point is emphasized in the thread. Still, I find it disappointing that he keeps seeking explanations online instead of learning how technology functions. It’s frustrating. Yes, but be careful what you search for.
i already told you how to get to this problem . reset CMOS, reinstall windows USE DEFAULT settings, DO NOT change anything. THEN we could go from there if actually something is wrong with your ram. Do you want a solution, or rather argue how things work you don't understand (because google lol)?
remove ram, wipe contacts using a good eraser, reposition ram, retry.
