Running out of memory while running Windows isn’t exactly a new phenomenon. But since Windows 8, things have mostly gotten better from memory usage\/performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I recently ran into an issue where I’d close down all of my apps, but leave my system on overnight. When I’d jiggle the mouse in the morning, I would be greeted with horrendously sluggish drive swapping and 100% memory utilization. On a system with 32 gigs of memory. Even worse, I opened up my task manager and shut down everything possible – but nothing was indicated where 25+ gigs of memory went. Bad job Microsoft, shouldn’t your performance tools be able to tell me what is using up 90% of my system memory? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I got a clue from the fact my non-pageable memory usage was huge. This, apparently, indicates a driver or service with a memory leak: The problem was the Killer Network Suite. Apparently, this is a pretty common problem with the Killer network driver. I uninstalled it, and the problems seemed to go away. I then downloaded and installed the DRIVER ONLY package for the network interface by going directly to the Killer network website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Turns out that the Killer network suite unfortunately lives up to it’s name: it certainly killed all the memory on my system. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Running out of memory while running Windows isn’t exactly a new phenomenon.
