How to troubleshoot a system with low memory

We often use the computer, sometimes there is a lack of memory situation.

Said the memory is generally refers to the virtual memory is insufficient, sometimes refers to the C disk space is insufficient, sometimes in the Trojan also will prompt the memory is insufficient.

Set virtual Memory The method set by Microsoft Certified System Engineer Liu Ganzong is as follows:

Set virtual Memory Method: Right-click on My Computer/Properties/Advanced/performance Settings/Advanced/virtual Memory change/Choose custom size, at initial size and maximum, set to twice times your physical memory. If your memory is 512MB, set the initial size and maximum to be set to 1024MB. After setting press the "Settings" button, and then press OK and apply, restart the computer settings take effect (set virtual memory size does not have a fixed number, size can be adjusted.) For example: Your physical memory is small, virtual memory can be set larger "three times times", physical memory 2G, virtual memory can set a small point "one times", or you can not set virtual memory, because if you set the virtual memory is small, the system will remind you, set a large waste of system resources.

Set virtual memory, stored in a non-system disk method:

Right-click on My Computer/Properties/Advanced/performance Settings/Advanced/virtual memory changes/attention: Select the C: in the Drive [volume label], and then click "No paging File" to press the "Settings" button, and then the virtual memory for C disk has been canceled. Then you select the custom size, set the drive [volume label] on a different disk, and enter the virtual memory number, and then press the "Settings" button, and then press the OK application, restart the computer settings to take effect.

Suggest you download malware and Trojan Kill tool windows cleanup Assistant killing malware and Trojan:

After downloading the installation, first upgrade to the latest version, then exit Normal mode and restart press F8 to enter Safe mode. Open the software, click "System Scan", select all of the scan results, then click the "Perform cleanup" button, if the software prompts you to "back up", choose "Yes" (backup is to prevent the cleanup error, if the system does not occur after the exception, delete the backup), follow the prompts to do the operation.

Methods and steps:

The first step is to look at the memory footprint of your system and software.

1. Open the System Task Manager, click on the top of the "performance" to view the current memory usage, as shown in the following figure,

2. As you can see from here, my memory may not be much space. So when I continue to open other programs, the smaller the available memory will be, and then the system will react more slowly.

At this point, we can switch to Task Manager's "Process" tab, and then click "Memory" to have the system sorted by the size of memory consumed, as shown in the following figure.

3. So we can see intuitively that those programs are consuming a large amount of memory in the system, causing our system to run slower.

As the following illustration shows, the memory used by my process Manager to display "Firefox" is large. I'm not using Firefox to browse the Web now, so I can turn this application off or just end the process directly from task management, freeing up more memory space.

4. When we go back to the "performance" in Task Manager to view the current available memory, we find that the system has more available memory than it used to, as shown in the following illustration.

5. This method is applicable to the software we install on the computer too much, and there are many running programs, such as the system started with some players, chat software and so on. With Task Manager, you can learn more about the memory we are currently using, as well as help us find out which software takes up a large amount of memory so that we can decide whether to end it or remove it completely from the system, depending on our own needs. By cleaning up the software, we turn off the software that we don't use very often, but consumes the system's memory, thereby freeing up more memory space.

The second step, the appropriate adjustment of virtual memory.

1. When the physical memory in our computer system is not enough, the system will automatically enable virtual memory to solve the problem of low memory. The so-called virtual memory, is the system to the hard disk area as a physical memory (RAM) to use, but because the hard disk read and write speed and memory is far from enough to compare, so in performance will have a big difference. When the system memory is not enough, we can find that our hard drive lights will always flicker, and this time the computer's response speed is particularly slow, this is the system is using virtual memory on the hard disk to deal with our physical memory is not enough.

2. Select "Computer", click the right mouse button, select "Properties", in the pop-up System window, click on the left "advanced system Settings", as shown in the following figure.

3. Then in the System Properties window, click "Advanced", and then click "Settings", as shown in the following figure.

4. Click "Adjust for Best performance" in "Performance Options". The advantage of this setting is that it sacrifices the visual effect to reduce the footprint of the hardware resource, as shown in the following illustration.

5. Next, we click on the "Advanced" option to see the current "virtual memory" size, as shown in the following figure.

6. If our computer memory is not enough, you can change the virtual memory appropriately. Note, however, that virtual memory is not as large as possible. In general, do not exceed twice times the physical memory, otherwise the system may run more slowly.

Third step, increase physical memory.

1. If the above methods can not be used, the system will still have insufficient memory, it is recommended to install memory solution. Adding memory to the system's operating speed is the most obvious improvement.

Summary: Generally are virtual memory prompts, can be in my Computer-Properties-advanced-performance Settings-advanced-virtual memory changes inside the set size, but such a large shrink will bring the system additional burden, so that the system operation slowed! In view of this, the user is best to customize the minimum and maximum virtual memory, avoid the constant size of the transformation. Replacing larger memory bars can also solve the problem. When the computer is running, virtual memory is used only if there is not enough physical memory. So it is reasonable to open the software, a regular system of garbage cleaning and scanning system antivirus, or the accumulation of garbage files and Trojan virus program will occupy most of your memory location, so that your system to operate slowly, so that you bring a lot of burden.
