Win 7 64 with 8 gig of ram, getting running low on memory errors.
- by John
I have a new Dell laptop running Win7 64 with 8 meg of ram. If I leave the system running overnight I start getting low memory errors the next day. Looking at task manager it shows 6.27 gig used but looking at the processes list the totals don't show nearly that much. I am showing all processes from all users.
I have also looked at the processes with PRocess Explorer and see the same results.
Using resource monitor I see 4165 MB in Use, 2328 MB Modified and 1352MB Standby with only about 345 MB free. These numbers don't seem to add up to what I have running.
I have Visual Studio 2010 running along with a number of IE8 sessions.
I have run the same set of apps with XP SP2 32 bit with 4 gig of memory and never had this sort of problem.
What is Modified memory? What is Standby memory?
Any suggestions on what might be the issue and what might be a fix?
TIA
