Hi,
Recently got done building my first Intel computer (previous were all AMD) and for the most part everything has been working. However I was hoping someone might be able to help me understand some of the memory usage data my task manager is showing and a stuttering issue I have noticed.
So to start with, at times I will see that my memory usage is reaching above 60% and using close to 20 GB of my ram, and in this instance my GPU was also jumping around from 2% to 70% which was a little weird as I wasn't in a game.
I'm personally happy to see it all being used, however I know from my previous build what 16 GB of programs & browsers open is like and I don't have close to that open as seen in the task manager processes list below.
So was wondering if someone had an idea where all that extra ram usage is going or if i just have a memory leak somewhere?
As for my issue, I have noticed stuttering/delays when opening programs for the first time. For instance the below attached images were saved to my desktop and when clicking an image it would take 5-10 secs to load. Once that was finished I could close and open images quickly. However when testing this and opening an image using the photo program my computer actually froze and stuttered for close to 10 secs for the first time ever. After the freeze was resolved and whatever process the computer was doing was killed my ram went back down to 20% and GPU back to 2%. Below pictures were before the freeze.
So was hoping someone has an idea of why this is happening since I found it weird that my new build which is at least twice as powerful as my previous computer is having issues I never had before. I mean since when does opening a photo freeze a computer with an i9 CPU, 2080 GPU and 32 GB of ram?
Appreciate any help or ideas you have.
