Memory? Do you mean cache? The hard drive cache is used to help the drive performance by an algorithm that tells it which data to load into cache to increase its speed.

is says 669 gb free of 931 gb some times the 669 gb goes down and up? thats what i am trying to say.
sorry about that

 

[joey657]

any solution?

 

[dariens007]

by how much does it go up and down? and what programs are you running

 

[joey657]

not alot really. i got nvidia running avg free realtek hd audio manager

i git 0 to 1-2 % cpu usage 2.30gb memory on windows task manager

well i can't really think of a reason off hand unless you are deleting and downloding things to yoru computer. but some fluctuation in space, just a little, i would think be normal as the operating system makes changes all the time. how much space are you losing gaining and at what intervals

 

[joey657]

not alot really

 

[dariens007]

i need more specific than not a lot, is it 1gb or more? less? megabytes maybe? just trying to gauge at least

but in my opinion it doesn't seem to be anything to worry about, unless someone else has a pretty good insight onto what's going on

i dont think anyone has signt of my computer. i do marware scans and virus scans every week
is it something i should worry about?
i lose about 5 to 10 (i think)

5-10 MBs or GBs? When you install programs and updates temp files are down loaded utilized and deleted so some space change is normal. Plus if you are downloading files and deleting file that will also affect your hard drive storage.

Check the USB port to make sure it connected well with your computer. If it still the same, then try 4Card Recovery to retrieve your data. Because your data may have lost.
