Always having 65%+ Memory.

[Subza]

lately I've been working with Photoshop and after having the program open for a hour or two it pretty much starts taking up my whole PC and everything becomes close to un-usable, i had a look in processes and it said i was using around 95% of my memory, then i saved and closed Photoshop and my memory was still 75%, then i realized my memory was pretty much always above 65%, looking around in processes and couldn't see anything taking up that much, not sure whats going on.

Processes:

Any help would be appreciated.

you are most likely doing high end photoshop work? As that just chews up memory and I would suggest going for more memory, if work will only become more demanding. As for the memory usage and work, that is reasonable and nothing really to worry about.

what is your ram usage when nothing is open" If really high it could be due to the amount of applications open that are classified as 'hidden'. On the bottom right there should be an up arrow and that will show all your 'hidden' running apps, if you need to you can delete some as some download through some webpages and are truly unwanted.

it's ok for windows to try and use as much memory as it can. i would say not to worry if performance is same as ever. what windows will do is that it will use available memory to cache frequently used data as long as the memory is not needed for anything else.

if you restart the pc you will see that it goes to below 40-50% and slowly increases as you do stuff. when you start a program that needs a lot of memory it will start up, use it (cache size decreases) and when you stop it goes back down then again up until again the memory is needed for another program needing a lot of memory.

hi Subza
you could try this method to solve this problem.

To Fix Memory Leaks on Non-Paged-Pool:
Changed the registry value instead of using Autoruns:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu

Change the Start value to 4 (for disable).
