RAM Issues + High disk usage on MSI GE60

Recently I've noticed that my system slowly eats up RAM. It starts off at 21% and can go as high up as 80% or more. When I'm playing games on it the RAM does not clear up properly either, it stays at 50% or so. This was an issue before that I somehow managed to solve, but it is back again.
As for high disk usage, that's been a problem since I've had the laptop.
OS: Windows 8
Processor: Intel Core i7 4700MQ (2.40GHz)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M
RAM: 8GB Memory
HDD: 750GB
If you need more info I'll provide it.

If you open task manager-> performance -> open resource manager / you will see whats eating up your resources
if its windows see if indexing is off
did you installed 3rd party software diffrent than stock ?
how old is your laptop?
its not normal to have such high usage numbers !! i think its a program causing the problems !
if you check your resource manager you will be able to see whats causing it
ps if possible please post a screen shot and ill look into it

KDE 4.7: very slow and high disk usage

Since upgrade to KDE 4.7 on my i686 laptop, my system behaves weirdly. I noticed a slow down caused by a very high disk usage: when the HDD spins the cpu usage reported by the CPU monitor plasmoid is very high (~ 50%), while top reports a very small CPU load. Another strange symptom is that, when I try to close the session, the system freezes for about 15 seconds before the logout/shutdown/restart dialog window appears, again with HDD spinning furiously. If I exit the dialog window and then try to close session again it works smoothly, so I think some caching is at work at second try.
This is very painful since it slows down my workflow. Since now I tried to:
- disable nepomuk, strigi and all that using the nepomukcontroller plasmoid
- disable compositing
- delete .kde folder
- uninstall and reinstall all kde packages
without any benefit. On the same laptop I have dual boot with a 64 bit arch installation, which does not have the same problem, nor has it my 64 bit desktop pc.
Does anyone have similar issues? I don't understand what is it that makes the HDD spin so much, nor how to eventually track it down (are there som HDD usage profiling utilities?). Moreover, why top and CPU usage plasmoid report so different CPU usage stats?
I'm very confused, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Although I'm not having any of the issues as Snack, I have found KDE 4.7.0 to be a very horrible release. In fact, I'm sick and tired of the KDE release notes bragging about killing thousands of bugs each release, when in actuality the first few revisions of each stable release are horrible. When I first upgraded, I ran into at least four really nasty bugs. Although I've worked around some of them, it left a really sour taste in my mouth. Here is what I've experienced:
1.) With a new user or fresh install, there is no wallpaper by default, even if I install kde-wallpapers before I log in, it makes no difference.
2.) Sometimes kwin will crash during log out.
3.) Worse yet, if I exit a full screen game, it will more than likely crash Kwin. This is a problem on my laptop (which has intel video) and not my desktop (which has nvidia video). If I don't remember to disable desktop effects before opening a game, I may run into a problem.
4.) Although my performance is good, it's not great. I would think a laptop with a Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM would run faster than it is.
I have tested XFCE for a bit, and I do like it alot. However, with XFCE I am unable to browse Samba shares, and that is a huge problem. In addition, I find KDE's applications to be much better than what ships with XFCE, but I question whether they're worth the performance hit. I really love Kate, Gwenview, Digikam, and Amarok. I know you can install those in XFCE, but they feel out of place and then my desktop pretty much becomes a mutt. Not only that, but KDE is full featured, whereas XFCE is not. It's like I have to choose between a stable desktop or a desktop with full of bugs.
I hope that KDE 4.7.1 fixes everything, but historically it's usually the 4.x.2 release that really does the trick.

High disk usage/high memory usage.

i keep getting high memory usage and high disk usage in ps cs6.
its slow when i open a file. how can i solve this problem.
thank you.
philip.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but more than what? More RAM is almost always better, but you haven't answered most of the questions posed here. The answer might be different if you have 2 GB of RAM or 32 GB of RAM already. A 9 megapixel document could get rather large with a lot of layers, but again you've neglected to give any hard info about its size.
Regarding your video card, that's a bit of a judgment call you need to make. For Photoshop CS6 I currently advise people to try to get a video card that gets a score of 1000 or better on this benchmark: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
Video card speed will matter when you're editing those 3D components and video card VRAM will also matter, but possibly even more importantly your GeForce 320 is a bit old, and nVidia may just not be doing their best driver work for it any more.
Everything in general will run more smoothly with a powerful modern video card. I like to recommend a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 7750 - or if the computer power supply and your budget allow, the even more powerful 7850. VisionTek does a very good job with their hardware, IMO, and it comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Keep in mind that if you switch from nVidia to ATI or vice versa, you should carefully sweep your system to ensure all files from the old card are removed, then visit the web site of the new card's maker and download/install their latest display driver release.
Best of luck.

Slowed speed, freezes, high disk usage

After I have been on the computer for about 10-15 minutes, it starts to freeze and slow down. I get a high disk usage message from Norton saying that Windows Explorer Exe. is causing this. I also keep getting the same 5 updates even after I have installed them. I have a Compaq Presario SR5602FH Desktop PC Using windows home basic. Also the Hp updater does not open anymore.

Norton is pretty good but you still could have viruses. I don't think you do and I believe it is your hard drive going bad. I would try to run check disk and if your laptop has the utility partition, test your memory and hard drive.

Performance issue High disk I/O

Hi All,
we have Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production running on REd Hat EE 4
We are having some high disk I/O issues after doing some schema changes last week.
I checked some wait events but found pmon timer and smon timer at the top all the time. but not getting any clue of reason behind it.
If anyone has faced such issue then please advice as what could be reason of it.
SELECT a.SID, a.event, a.wait_time, a.seconds_in_wait, a.state
FROM v$session_wait a, v$session b
WHERE a.SID = b.SID AND event <> 'SQL*Net message from client'
ORDER BY seconds_in_wait DESC
SID     EVENT     WAIT_TIME     SECONDS_IN_WAIT     STATE
1     pmon timer     0     4090     WAITING
8     smon timer     0     1209     WAITING
9     rdbms ipc message     0     799     WAITING

To add some more information to this
The disk activity before doing schema changes used to be somewhere around 30-45% but now it has suddenly went to 70-80%.
The schema changes includes addition of some complex views, tables and indexes.
but i haven't seen any considarable chnages in size of newly added objects they are all together less than 1.5 gb and our total database size is 700GB.
i took snapshot for over period of time i found top event as direct path write

Solaris 9 High Disk Usage

Hi,
I have an unusual problem with Solaris 9 servers I am responsible for. Occasionally a server will suffer from very poor performance, characterized by disk throughput ramping up to 100%. I figured there must be a process responsible for hogging the disk, so I first tried shutting down as many processes as I could. The problem is that the servers are distributed around the world, and I need to be careful not to stop so many processes that the server becomes unavailable. This did not yield a solution, so I found some tools to list disk usage by process. I found that when the disk usage is at 100%, there was very little process disk activity, so it was not possible to identify a guilty process. Strangely, one of the partitions affected (according to iostat) is the backup partition. The only solution I have found so far is to do a reboot.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
Thanks
Nick

Issue fixed. Kernel memory consumption caused by too much outgoing TCP connection. See http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=26311&tstart=0

High disk usage on DB server

Hi All,
I have 4 four disks connected to my db server and on disk2, I found very high usage (above 90%) every time. I have only one tablespace BME_DATA on this disk and it has only one datafile.
There are only few tables (less than 50) that are stored in this tablespace but most of them are very huge in size (~ 500MB), and yes most of them have high DML activity also.
I am planning to create another datafile for BME_DATA on DISK3 so that load can be balanced. Please suggest if there is any better way to do the same.
Thanks for your interest.
Bhupinder

Hi Alan,
What version database? have you analyzed the tables
and indexes associated with the datafile on this
disk? Has this problem recently started?I am using Oracle 9.2.0, and all the table including indexes were analyzed today. Recently I have loaded 1G+ of data into multiple tables and yes out of those tables are only causing the problem.
I have only table datafile (BME_DATA_01.dbf) to Diks2, index datafile is located on Disk1.
Now shall I go and add one more data file to Disk3 or is there any memory changes I can do to reduce the bottleneck on disk2.
Thanks again

2.5 GB Ram, no application - Disk usage bottleneck - extrem slow response

Hi everybody,
I'm experiencing some trouble. Last weekend, i updated my itunes library with bpm count for DJing via BPMer. The Librarys size is about 100 GB. Usually i have 50 - 75 GB free space depending on the size of some Logic Pro projects.
While updating, Time Machine went crazy with tons of gigs of updates but after some time my internal (not time machine) drive was getting full.
So i started to delete some old files but the left space didnt grow up.
After some time i recognized i had over 100 GB free space, why?
From this time on my disk is going crazy by doing whatever (thats my big question), my Ram is used with up to 2.5 gig without displaying any application using this much space and the free disk space is changing in minutes between 135 and 100 GB.
I tried some maintainace skipts, PRAM reset, Permissions repair, disk repair, virus/ trojan scan without finding the reason.
The real problem is i can see in the istat pro monitoring, that the disk is going crazy, but du in terminal doesnt give me hint on what application it is. The same thing is true for the ram which is used, but no application is listed with more than 200MB.
Thanks for your help!

Defragmenting using iDefrag solved the problem…
The mac only maintains files smaller than 1 GB, iDefrag did the rest…

# of Memory Channels - 3
but for some reasons i cant use 1066
that is simple to explain 1066 would work with 3 sticks of ram installed but you have 6 so the max is 800mhz as you have 2x3 channel memory installed and the cpu cant handle that much at full speed!

seems like should be ok.....
not the point wattage ratings are meaningless its all down to how that is sub-devided on its rails as ampages i have a 1000W psu here that can't boot a single 24A graphics card as it has 4 x 20A +12v rails and is only usefull as a paper weight!
what are the ampages of its +12V rail or rails? there the important data points to pay attention to! WATTAGE OF A PSU REALLY MEANS NOTTHING ITS ALL ABOUT AMPAGE IT CAN DELIVER ON THE RAILS!!!!!! minimum Wattage psu calculations are done based on a single high ampage +12v rail and if yours has 2-3 +12v rails its no better then a 300W psu at best!
that HD 4890 you have requires this:
18A idle power draw = 216W
28A under load = 336W
that is very power hungery at idle probaly neer the max your psu can put out on a +12v rail!

High CPU usage when in Gmail's standard HTML mode

Ideacenter a520 100% disk usage win 8.1

I have a few Ideacenter a520 and all of them have the same issue 100% disk usage and its killing productivity. Searching around it seems this is a common issue with Lenovo but I have tried many of the fixes listed but cant get it to change.
-Restored to factory defaults with built in lenovo recovery - No change
-Stopped Services for Expresscach / uninstalled anything to do with it - No change
-Removed every Lenovo bloatware I could find - No change
-SMART test and all HDD tests pass the HDD fine.
-Tried to resintall with a fresh windows 8 disk but ALL of these WILL NOT boot from CD or USB. Even BIOS wont list the CD Drive as a bootable option. Wont accept USB CD/DVD drive either althought sees them fine in windows. -NO CHANGE
-No bios update for this modle.
-updated all drives and windows updates to 8.1 - NO CHANGE
Not sure what else I can do to solve this issue? I wish I could boot off CD or USB media so I could do a fresh install and have 0 Lenovo Bloatware as that is probably the cause as found in other forms.

In order to diagnose your problem you will need to download and install the below
Install the WPT (windows Performance Toolkit)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
Help with installation (if needed) is here
When you have, open an elevated command prompt and type the following
WPRUI.exe (which is the windows performance recorder) and check off the boxes for the following:
First level triage, CPU usage, Disk IO.
If your problem is not CPU or HD then check off the relevant box/s as well (for example networking or registry)
Click Start
Let it run for 60 secs or more and save the file (it will show you where it is being saved and what the file is called)
Zip the file and upload to us on Onedrive (or any file sharing service) and give us a link to it in your next post.

External edits and disk usage

Does external editings result to higher disk usage?
I've a master non-referenced image (6MB) stored in Aperture. Subsequently, I've modified it using an external editor. After each edition, the modification are stored as separate versions under Aperture.
Is it correct that each external edited version is stored in full size (6MB) each? For example, I've made 4 editions, therefore, I would have used 24MB (6MB x 4) of disk space.

When you export an image to an external editor, Aperture gives you a choice of whether to send it as a PSD or Tiff. Tghios choice is made in Preferences. It comes back as a stacked Version, but in reality is atleast the size of your Master. This is something that hopefully Aperture will change in 2.0. You should learn to take full advantage of the modifications you can make in Aperture. Obviously, there are some beyond its capabilities. Hopefully this too will be dealt with to some extent in 2.0.

Premiere Pro export issues. Unknown error messages, extremely slow export times, strange I/O & disk usage

Hello,
I'm hoping I can start getting answers to some big issues I've been having running Premiere pro. I've had similar issues with CS6 but it seems like with CC and every recent update, the problem hasn't been resolved, its even worse.
The main issue I have is seeing the 'unknown error' message everytime I try to export a file. I'm working with RED footage. When I turn off the CUDA support, I can export without the error but my export time goes from a few minutes to sometimes hours in the render time!
I've looked through pages and pages of forums and there are so many people saying the same thing, with millions of opinions of what the problem is. Regardless, the only thing I tried that worked so far is turning off the CUDA support.
Now something I recently noticed, is that the difference isn't the GPU usage, I still show GPU being used at 500mb or 1gb out of the 2gb that it has (GTX 680)
The strange thing is without the mercury playback option, I'm seeing that disk usage and I/O go way down to kbs from a very high number. This would make sense why I'm seeing such huge changes in render times even though it still shows my 6 core CPU maxed out and ram over 40gb out of 64 that are installed.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what may be happening here? Its the only thing that has plagued my system using Premiere since day one and there seems to be no way around it..

Best way to get a real answer is go to the Tweaker's Page, download the most recent PPBM benchmark test, and run it. It's a folder that has a resource monitoring/logging program and a PrPro project with files that is short but HEAVY in effects, both AE and PrPro, so it tests all parts of a system's capabilities from disc in/out to GPU capability/use to CPU, fsb, RAM, you name it ... and after sending that back in you get a complete report on where your computer did well and what the choke-points were.
Also ... over on the Hardware forum is the place where the techies amongst us hang ...
