RAM usage
March 23rd, 2023
I recently bought a new laptop.
It runs the windows 7 Home Premium 64bit version.
It has 4gigs of RAM.
Now I’ve putted some meters on my desktop to see my RAM and CPU, but my RAM is constantly using 30%. When I start my laptop up, when I do nothing on it, always 30%. Now my question is: Is it normal that my RAM is constantly using 30% even when I’m not doing anything?
Thanks in advance,
Nin.
The Usage of the RAM depends on the number of applications running in the background.
Do you have Anti-Virus? Any other background applications when system starts?
Yes, It’s normal. I have just closed everything and its taking 28% of my entire memory!.
If you want to save Ram. Go to START -> RUN -> MSCONFIG and startup
And Disable Unnecessary startup items.
Also, The windows will occupy some memory, You can expect yourself to be safe at that rate.
if you have avg uninstall it and put a better one on that thing eats the ~love~ out of you ram
Sometimes the idle process brings it up to that… OR MORE. If t sis the SYSTEM IDLE PROCESS then u cant do anything about it exept more ram
30% ram usage is not a problem. It’s normal. RAM is there to be used for a reason. Memory is always faster than a page file.
Ok, cheers for the quick answers.
Just wasn’t sure if it was right .
Thanks guys.
Im using 1gb of ram when im not doing anything lol. Tast Manager – processes – Memory
please show your total running process when your pc is idle.
RAM usage will be shown even you don’t do anything on it, its because some software are using RAM in background (like – Windows Services, Antivirus, etc..).
Note: If you see your CPU usage going high (for a long time) in idle state then it means that your computer is doing some hidden processing. Monitor that thing because it may be a symptom of Virus infection.
For example:
@: What do you mean with total running process?
@chintuishero: my CPU always stays low.. So I think that a good thing.

That’s a stupid way to make assumptions

open your task manager,print screen, paste at paint,save as jpeg and upload to here.

Yes it is..
That’s a stupid way to make assumptionsIt may be, but I found this method very safe. My software installations are fixed, and I know how much CPU usage to expect (after the fresh installation). I don’t let my CPU usage go high (in idle state).

It mayb safe but it’s also paranoid, how many times does it happen that you actually are infected.
It’s like having 5 antivirus installed, way to paranoid.

Is this what you mean ?
Or do you want the “processes” tab?
sounds about fine having 30% ram. whats that about 1.2GB on services etc ?
Where do you see services?
