Locate & Fix memory Leaks

[Deferian]

Good evening everyone.

I've searched far and wide for a way to spot & fix this problem. Right now, I only have Firefox open and 71% of my RAM is in use. I need to do a clean boot every morning to fix it, or else when I reach 90%-ish I crash.

Here are my specs...
Intel(R) Core I7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
12.0 GB (RAM)
x64-bit
Ge-force GTX 765m.

I don't understand this either... https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms859419.aspx
had the same issue with my last computer 3 years ago... and I never found the solution.
I looked at many forums and tutorials but unfortunately I can't follow it or it doesn't work...

I'd love to get rid of this as I feel like it put strain on the system. Please, if you have any ideas to help me, that would be grand.

Thanks a lot for reading,
-Émile

If you want software fixed you need to contact the developer. However, 71 % memory isn't a problem. Crashing at 90 % is though.

Can you reproduce the crash?

 

[Deferian]

Yes, it happens everyday. I have no idea which one is causing this.
Thanks for taking interests

Does it happen randomly every day or can you reproduce it?

 

[Deferian]

Everyday without fail. I can reproduce it

 

[FinneousPJ]

And what do you do to reproduce it?

 

[Deferian]

Just... Use it. RAM keeps increasing in Task Manager and system will end up crashing.

Have you ran a virus scanner to see if you have any infections? Can you check to see if you have any extensions installed in Firefox? Maybe doing a fresh install will help.

Yes; I try to keep my computer clean.
This seems to have worked preventing my RAM to raise:

But my PC feels somewhat... Sluggish? when moving screens around and launching programs.
Do you guys have any idea why?

Edit: RAM looks good, but there's considerable lag when something loads. I might need to revert the changes. Rather have to reboot than having this lag

 

[Deferian]

Anyone has any idea? I feel like this method could be working, but something is not right...

As I said, having your RAM usage at 70 % isn't a problem. The crashing is something that shouldn't happen. Try doing some memory intensive benchmarks and see if those induce a crash.
