Asked By TechieTurtle42 On

I'm having a serious issue with my computer's RAM usage. I've checked the resource monitor and even ran a scan with ESET's online scanner, but I can't seem to track down what's eating up all this memory. Is there a chance it's a memory leak that might not be showing up anywhere?

How much RAM do you have installed? Sometimes, cached RAM shows up as 'in use' in the task manager, but the system can quickly clear it out when needed. It can be misleading!

You might want to try using RamMap from Sysinternals. It's a great tool that reveals what Windows usually hides. I had a similar problem with SQL Server consuming a ton of RAM, but it wasn't flagged in the typical processes, RamMap showed it right away. Definitely worth a shot!
