Z87-G45, 80%+ Memory Usage in Task Manager

hey guys ran into another problem
i'm using windows 8.1 it's a fresh install and i'm running into high memory usage problem. I was running at 99% while idling earlier (system was lagging hard) so i system restored to the previous day and everything was fine until now. I see it slowly creeping up. While typing this i'm running at 84% Memory usage which seems absurdly high.
I'm using 8gb of Gskill Ram so I tried to follow the sticky above, but my BIOS would not let me changed anything under the "Advanced DRAM settings" not sure what that is either?
Anyone got a quick fix to this problem?

Just updated my killer network drivers because i saw that sticky about people having problems with it.
This dropped my RAM down to 18% while typing this at this very moment. I'll let you know if it creeps up again.
My next question I guess is what is normal memory usage on windows 8.1?

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. (continued)

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.

First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16. In order to better manage the memory that Firefox uses please see these troubleshooting steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram Firefox Uses too much RAM]

100% disk usage in Task Manager when using Photoshop CC (Windows 8.1 - 64 bit)

Hi
I have been using Adobe CC for a month or two now. I own an Asus laptop with Intel i7 (2.4 GHz), 6 GB RAM, 1 TB hard disk space and 64 bit, nearly 6 months old. Following apps are currently installed: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Audition, Acrobat XI Pro, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. I recently performed an update through Adobe CC for Photoshop and Illustrator, all others are up-to-date.
I believe, but I may be wrong, that since this update Photoshop is acting weird on my laptop. When I start Photoshop, my task manager immediately indicates a 100% rate of my disk usage. This seems to wield off after it is fully operational, but when I start to edit a file, the disk usage immediately jumps back to 100%, while the CPU remains below 10%, RAM stays at 3.5-3.8 GB (only 60% of total capacity) and even the actual read and write speeds of my HDD are not particularly high (5 - 10MB max). And because of the 100% disk usage, Photoshop freezes in an instant and operating it is nearly impossible.
I already uninstalled Photoshop, went over all services and **** that could trigger this within Windows 8.1 (Google-search for: Windows 8.1 disk usage 100%) , re-installed Photoshop and I still have the same problem.
So, I was wondering if there might be a solution to this problem or if anybody else is having this problem as well?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: This error applies only when I try to manipulate, add, edit or remove text. All other functions (not related to text) seem to work properly.

Help! Can't overclock new Z87-G45 Gaming without Event 41 Task 63 shutdowns

I'm running into a frustrating problem with Event 41 Task 63 "unexpected shutdowns" when I'm trying to overclock the computer I recently built. The machine shuts down instantly and seemingly randomly under light load, often when it's idle. It doesn't BSOD, there's no crash dump, and the bug check codes are all zeros in event viewer. It doesn't shutdown while stress testing or playing games. It's certainly not overheating.
If I run the processor at default clock this doesn't happen, or at least, it hasn't so far. But when I dial in a modest 4.2ghz overclock, it'll reliably happen once or twice daily. The thing is, my overclock will stress test for 24 hours stable with every program I've tried (Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, AIDA64, Prime95) and passes Intel Burn Test 10 passes at very high. It only seems to generate the Event 41 errors while idle or web browsing.
Steps I've taken so far that have not solved the problem:
- replaced PSU
- replaced memory
- checked cable connections to motherboard
- flashed bios to latest
- updated all drivers to latest
- disabled C-states
- disabled adaptive voltage and dynamic multiplier
- disabled sleep in Windows power plan
- disabled all but one audio driver
- verified hard drive passes dskchk
- verified memory passes memtest 12 hours
- verified sfc/scannow gives no errors
I'm close to abandoning overclocking but that's disappointing.
Here are my system specs:
OS: Windows 8
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 gaming
Processor: Intel i5 4670k
Cooler: Hyper 212+
Memory: Gskill 2x4GB 1600mhz 8-8-8-24 (Haswell compatible)
Video card: MSI 770 GTX Twin Frozer
PSU: Seasonic G-series 650W (Haswell compatible)
Firewire Card: SIIG 2-port PCIe
Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Optical: ASUS DRW-24B1ST
Here's the overclock I've been attempting:
Core multiplier: 42
Vcore: 1.16v
Ring multiplier: 41
Vrin: 1.15v
Vccin: 1.85v
XMP enabled (1600mhz, 1.5v)
(all other settings default in MSI bios)
Can anyone suggest to me what might be going on here?
I've tried raising vcore to 1.19 and running fixed voltage with no difference.
Are there other settings I should try changing? One thing, for example, is that I've left vdroop control on auto. I have different % options in the MSI bios, should I start experimenting? I read that Haswell has little vdroop so I didn't mess with it.
Is it right to assume this isn't a motherboard problem, since I don't seem to get the unexpected shutdowns when I'm running stock clocks? I think I've ruled out the PSU and ram since I've replaced them both, so if it's a hardware issue I think it's got to be the motherboard.
Thanks for any help.

I know this topic is old but i have been having this same problem as andy and i cant figure it out. Also im sorry if i wasnt suppose to continue on someones thread but i thought it would be easier since we had the same problem. I have the same mobo and cpu, this only happens when i try to OC. when i set it back to stock bios it doesnt happen. Event id 41 with a random reboot and no BSOD. i dont know what to do anymore besides revert back to stock. IF anyone can help me let me know.
i have oc to 4.4 multiplier with 34x uncore ratio.
things i have tried. set everything to auto except those two settings above.

MSI Z87-G45 flashed bios 19 now Intel Management Engine doesnt work

I used the forum tool to flash the latest bios 1,19 for my Z87-g45 and after booting back into windows and reinstalling intel ME I have a yellow exclamation mark over the Intel ME Interface in device manager.
It says the device cant start and STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE
I tried installing the MS hotfix that comes with the latest Intel ME software on the MSI website but it doesnt install and says it isn't suitable for my computer when I run it. I tried the 64bit first then the 32bit.

I fixed this by installing the older 1.18 using the built in mflash instead of the forum tool.
I don't know if it was the 1.19 version or the forum tool that stopped intel management engine working but selecting bios and intel me flash from the built in mflash worked.
I did worry when my computer shut down and restarted at 49% complete but upon starting again it showed a blank screen with flashing percentage for intel me in the middle starting around 50%.

How to monitor java memory usage in enterprise manager

I am running sqlplus to execute a sql package, which generates XML.
When processing 2000+ rows, it will give a out of memory error.
Where in enterprise manger can I see this memory usage?
Thanks.

Hello,
it depends a little on what you want to do. If you use the pure CCMS monitoring with the table ALTRAMONI you get average response time per instance and you only get new measurements once the status changes from green to yellow or red.
In order to get continuous measurements you should look into Business Process Monitoring and the different documentations under https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Libary --> Technical Information. E.g. the PDF Setup Guide for Application Monitoring describes this "newer" dialog performance monitor. Probably you have to click on the calendar sheet in the Media Libary to also see older documents as well. As the Business Process Monitoring integrates with BW (there is also a BI Setup Guide in the Media LIbrary) you can get trendlines there. This BW integration also integrates back with SL Reporting.
Some guidance for SL Reporting is probably given under https://service.sap.com/rkt-solman but I am not 100% sure.

Having a problem with Excessive "modified" memory usage in Win7 x64, upwards of 3.6GB, any suggestions?

I have 6GB of ram, a fresh install of Windows 7 x64, and the screenshot shows what happens after leaving my PC on for a couple days. (3782+MB being used by modified memory ATM).
http://wow.deconstruct.me/images/ExcessiveMemory.jpg
Any ideas on this?
Edit:
Added this after first round of suggestions
http://wow.deconstruct.me/images/NotSoExcessiveMemory.jpg
This is uptime of around 2 hours.
The first image is of uptime of around 3-5 days.

Matthew,
The only reason why these pages are kept on the modified list indefinitely is because the system doesn't have any available pagefile space left. If you increase the size of the pagefile the system will write most of these pages to disk and then move them from the modified list to the standby list. Standby pages are considered part of "available memory", because they can be reused for some other purpose if necessary.
Whether this would "fix" the problem or not depends on what the actual problem is. If it's an unbound memory leak then increasing the size of the pagefile will simply allow the system to run longer before it eventually hits the maximum pagefile size limit, or runs out of disk space. On the other hand, if it's a case of some application allocating a lot of memory and not using it for a long time, then increasing the pagefile might be a perfectly valid solution.
Allowing the system to manage the size of the pagefile actually works well in most cases. Pagefile fragmentation (at the filesystem level) can only occur when the initially chosen size is not large enough and the system has to extend it at run time. For win7 we have telemetry data that shows that even for systems with 1 GB of RAM, less than 0.1% of all boot sessions end up having to extend the pagefile, and this number is even lower for larger amounts of RAM. If you think you are in that 0.1% and your pagefile might be getting fragmented, you can manually increase its minimum size such that the total system commit charge stays below 80% even if you run all your apps at once (80% is the threshold at which the pagefile is automatically extended). This will make sure the pagefile is created once and then stays at the same size forever, so it can't fragment. The maximum size can either be set to the same value as the minimum, or you can make it larger so that the system is more resilient to memory leaks or unexpectedly high loads.
By the way, Windows doesn't use pagefiles as "extra memory", it uses them as a backing store for private pages, just like regular files are used as a backing store for EXEs/DLLs and memory mapped files. So if the system really has more than enough RAM (like in your second screenshot, where you have 3.6 GB of free pages) you shouldn't see any reads from the pagefile. You can verify this by going to the Disk tab in the resource monitor and looking for any disk IO from pagefile.sys. On smaller systems that don't have an excess of free pages you may see periodic reads from the pagefile, and this is expected because the total amount of data referenced by the OS/drivers/processes is larger than the total RAM. Forcefully keeping all pagefile-backed pages in memory (which is what disabling the pagefile does) would simply mean some other pages (memory mapped files, DLL code or data etc) would have to be paged out.
Regarding further troubleshooting steps: If the system runs fine with a larger pagefile (commit charge stabilizes well below 80%, and you no longer see gigabytes of modified pages accumulating in memory) then you don't really need to do anything. If the problem persists, you can check for any processes with an abnormally high commit charge, and also check kernel memory usage in task manager. If it's a kernel leak you can usually narrow it down to a particular driver using poolmon.exe or kernel debugger.

Unloading external swf file keeps memory usage growing up

Hello everybody,
The idea is very simple: I have a submain.swf with 5 buttons. Each button loads an external .swf file.
com_loader.load(URLRequest);
After playing first external swf, before I go to next one, I try to unload it:
1. remove all its associated listeners:
com_loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.INIT-PROGRESS-COMPLETE, idFunction);
2. unload it:
com_loader.unload();
3. set to null:
com_loader = null;
and load next external swf file and so on.
The problem is that the FireFox/IE8.0 Memory Usage in Task Manager is going up and I see no sign of GC activity even after 5 mins of playing. Can anyone light me up pls? This is the second week working around and no good news until now.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.
If I try com_loader.unloadAndStop(); it gives me the error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
Vince.

Hi Ice,
The loaded swf file contains only a small photo, just for testing, with no listeners or other stuff in it.

When i run exe built in Labview 7.1 the memory usage goes on increasing

Dear Sir/Madam
I have built an application in LabView 7.1. When i run this application and view the memory usage in Task manager, i find that the memory usage goes on increasing.
Please help.
With Regards
Ravindra Kumbhar

Hi, Ravindra,
It looks that you have memory leak in your application.
There are lot of possible reasons for memory leaks - opened in cycle and not closed references, continuosly growing arrays, memory allocation in own DLLs, etc.
Normally you should have the same behaviour in development environment as well (memory of LabVIEW.exe incresed continuously).
You should check the code, which executed repeatable (while/for loops) for allocated, but not closed resources. What you can do is following - remove (or isolate) parts of you code, executed in cycles, then check is leak present or not. So, step by step you will found the place where leak occurred.
best regards,
Andrey.

Memory usage of ApplyLogOnInfo and TestConnectivity

Hi,
Our application is coded in C++ (VS 2005) and we access the Crystal Report 2008 API using .NET (CR 2008 SP1). In the application, when a report needs to be printed, it will
        Load the report
        Login to the database
        Set the parameters
        Print the report
        Close the report
        Perform garbage collection
One of our customers has a very large report (.rpt > 2 M), which has many subreports and each subreport accesses a number tables.While observing the memory usage from Task Manager on win 2008, I can see loading the report self eats up about 100 M, then Login to the database will consume another 400 M, when the Report is closed, the memoary drops back a little bit and stays at around 500 M. Re-run the same report again, the memory will go up by another 200 M mainly during the login step. Then it stays at around 700 M for subsequent printing requests.
For reports which are small (< 100 k) and do not have a lot of subreports, the memory usage will be around 150 M. I am wondering why the login step will use some much memory and they do not get freed up when the report is close for the second report request.
The following is the code for the login step:
void CRptWriterIntf::SetDBConnectionInfo()
     m_TableLogOnInfo = gcnew TableLogOnInfo;
     m_TableLogOnInfo->ConnectionInfo->DatabaseName = gcnew System::String(m_serverName.getBuffer());
     m_TableLogOnInfo->ConnectionInfo->ServerName = gcnew System::String(m_dbName.getBuffer());
     m_TableLogOnInfo->ConnectionInfo->UserID = gcnew System::String(m_dbUser.getBuffer());
     m_TableLogOnInfo->ConnectionInfo->Password = gcnew System::String(m_dbPass.getBuffer());
void CRptWriterIntf::ReportLogon(ReportDocument^ reportDocument)
     SetReportLogonInfo(reportDocument);
     for (int i=0; i < reportDocument->Subreports->Count; i++)
             ReportDocument^ subReport = reportDocument->Subreports<i>;
             SetReportLogonInfo(subReport);
void CRptWriterIntf::
SetReportLogonInfo( ReportDocument^ reportDocument)
    for (int i=0; i < reportDocument->Database->Tables->Count; i++)
        Table^ table = reportDocument->Database->Tables<i>;
        table->ApplyLogOnInfo(m_TableLogOnInfo);
        if (!table->TestConnectivity())
            LOG_ERROR();
            CleanEngine(reportDocument);
            throw e;
Thanks
Kin H Chan

Thank you for the suggestion.
I updated my Crystal Report 2008 to SP4, but that does not seem to make any difference in term of the memory usage.
I do not find any function to close the DB connection from the Crystal Report 2008 .NET API Reference. Am I missing something?
The Depose method is a protected method which I cannot access directly from the ReportDocument object. Instead, it will be called in the destructor of ReportDocument according to the documentation.
In my codes, after the report is generated, I always perform:
Close the report by:
     reportDocument->Close()
and
Perform garbage collection
     System::GC::Collect();
If I skip either one of the two calls below, the report will fail to access the db from the report
     table->ApplyLogOnInfo(m_TableLogOnInfo);
     if (!table->TestConnectivity())
That is the reason that I have them there. Are there alternative to this approach?
By the way, how can I attach file (e.g. screen shots, sample codes, sample reports) to my question?
Thanks

Satellite C670D-10W - Task manager shows 100% CPU usage

My brand new laptop with factory installed windows 7 and all programs by Toshiba nothing addded shows 100% processor usage in task Manager and works pretty slow. The sum of 80 odd processes shown in task manager never reaches more than 30-50 % but bottom line is always 100%.
Tried process hacker 2, shows same processes as task manager.
What can be the problem?

If you check this forum you will see that you can find many threads with the same or similar content. Many people have noticed the same after notebook purchase, especially phenomena that notebook is pretty slow. Just without panic. What you must do is to optimize preinstalled operating system.
What can be the problem?
Brand new notebook is preinstalled with original Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image contains operating system, all necessary drivers, different Toshiba specific tools and utilities and some additional software like preinstalled McAffe or Norton antivir.
Many of these tools, utilities and additional software will start with operating system and run in the background. To be honest some of them can be deactivated, some of them can be also removed from the system. By default Windows update is set to automatic so when you go online all available windows updates will be installed automatically in the background and this will happen without your knowledge. This updates installation will make your HDD pretty busy and notebook operations will be slowed down.
I recommend you to change this option and set it to Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install.....
I hope you understand what I want to say and if you have more questions you are welcome.

JDK1.4.0.2 Memory usage on Win 2K.

By default Win2K does not yield much of the requested Java heap space in physical memory. It appears to give a small fraction to physical memory and the rest is kept in virtual memory.
I've tuned the platform to have only absolutely necessary system applications running, minimizing other apps memory usage, it always appears that the heap could be allocated in physical memory, but it is just not done by the OS.
My server has 2 Gb of ram, and my java app requests 1 Gb of heap space.
I see quite a bit of page faults when my app executes under load.
Looking at the memory meter in task manager, their appears to be easily more than 1Gb of free ram available, yet my process continues to page fault.
Is there a way to get the JVM to lock/retain more physical memory and reduce the need to use virtual memory so much? It really does not appear to be a memory contention issue with other apps? I'm using jvm 1.4.0.02 on a dual cpu del 1.5 Ghx with 2gb Ram.
Regards.

I am having same problem, did you get a solution yet.
Thanks

Memory Usage in WinTaskManger vs heap size

hello,
I have exactly the same problem as in the topic "Windows Task Manager vs. Heap", posted at Dec 10, 2004 5:17 AM, by jorgeHX.
Here are the symptoms:
1) My application starts at 20MB seen by windows task manager
2) I use profiler to monitor the heap. Heap is always working very healthly - heap size in the profiler increases by a minimum until the gc comes around so that the used heap size drops down again.
3) However, after doing a relatively memory-consuming operation (loop of String indexing, patterning ..etc.), the memory usage in windows task manager goes up couple of MBs but never drops down.
4) Then I go manually free the heap (System.gc()), I can see GC is freeing heap. However, the memory in windows task manager remains no change, no matter how many times I force the garbabge collection.
This is a bad thing - if my application keeps doing that memory-consuming operation again and again, the memory seen in the windows task manager will be growing and growing to hundreds of MBs until the windows alerts "low on virtual memory".
I tried everything already. I set every instance = null at the end, I delete every reference but the memory just keeps increasing! WHY?????
Anyone can help me charactorize the problem? I am so in dark!!
Ryan-Chi

I guess my problem can also be interpretated as
"Why doesn't JVM return memory to OS?"
It does, depending on the setting of the -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio option. "Normal" operation using the default setting does not usually cause memory to be returned to the os.
Search for this option term for explanations.

High memory usage in SQL Servers

Hi,
I have few SQL servers which are having memory utilization more than 95% when checked in task manager.
Servers OS - Windows server 2008 R2
SQL Sever 2008 and SQL Server 2012
AWE option is not enabled, Min memory setting - 1 GB and Max memory setting - 80% of the total memory in server.
SQL process is using less than max memory, when checked in task manager. So i was thinking where is remaining memory.
Used RAMMAP tool and found memory in AWE, even if i disabled AWE in SQL Server. Please let me know how to avoid AWE.

Hi,
Task manager does not always show you correct value so I would advise you not to loot at task manager but in this case since you SQL Server service account does not have Locked pages in memory privilege(LPIM) task manager can be referred
please use below query to see SQL Server memory utilization
select
(physical_memory_in_use_kb/1024)Memory_usedby_Sqlserver_MB,
(locked_page_allocations_kb/1024 )Locked_pages_used_Sqlserver_MB,
(total_virtual_address_space_kb/1024 )Total_VAS_in_MB,
process_physical_memory_low,
process_virtual_memory_low
from sys. dm_os_process_memory
Is your SQL server 64 bit version, then no need to enable AWE option.
Its totally normal behavior for SQL Server to utilize memory. It can also utilize memory greater that what is limit in max server memory setting as this only controls buffer pool allocation.
You can reduce max server memory value IF you really want SQL Server memory utilization in tak manager to come down. But I would again say its normal.
What is max server memory value anyway?
How much you have left for OS on atleast 5-6 G id required for OS. Value may vary.
>>SQL process is using less than max memory, when checked in task manager. So i was thinking where is remaining memory
SQL Server caches memory to store as much data and index pages(in memory) as possible to avoid any physical I/O which is costly and once taken memory it will not release unless SQLOS asks it to do so . It will start trimming its mmeory consumption when
SQLOS says it to do because of some memory pressure or other requirement. The process is totally dynamic and is managed perfectly so you dont need to worry.
