Unnecessary Processes chewing up ram

[breezett93]

Hello,

So I have been sifting through these forums, following recommendations like running a Malwarebytes scan. Unfortunately, still almost 60% of my RAM is being used with nothing running (except this tab). I'm looking in the Resource Monitor and I notice a few things.

1) 5 conhost.exe are running
2) 2 ccsvchst.exe; 2 csrss.exe
3) FlashPlayerPlugin.....etc
4) 3 nvstreamsvc.exe
5) 15 various versions of svchost.exe

Are these necessary?? If not, where do I go to permanently shut them off or delete them?

Thanks

I'll suggest running MSconfig from your start menu - from there you have services and programs that are running at start along with the ability to select which services and programs load at start (under services use the selection to "hide Microsoft services" so you won't inadvertently stop a needed OS service)

Hello
First go to start menu and type 'msconfig' (without the inverted commas) and go to services tab. On the bottom, check the 'Hide all Microsoft services' box. Then stop all the unnecessary services.
Malware and Adware can eat up memory too. I will recommend a full scan using MalwareBytes.

If that doesn't solve the problem, try upgrading your RAM.

How much ram do you currently have and where is your usage at now? Where are you shopping (country)

Hello

Newegg and Amazon are some good sites to buy from, if you are into online shopping. Else walk into a local electronics store and tell him the type of RAM (ddr2/ddr3) and its size (1GB/2GB....) and he'll do it. If you are not sure what type of RAM you have, download CPU-Z to see (under memory tab).

I have 4 GB of DDR3 RAM right now. Not exactly sure what type of usage you're asking for, but I use my machine primarily for gaming. When I do, the RAM usage is around 75% or higher. And I'm shopping in the United States.

Hello again.
4 GB is enough for decent/low-end gaming. If you use your computer for video editing and stuff, you should consider upgrading to 8 or 16. If you decide to upgrade, you should look into Newegg or Amazon because they are trusted.

Best regards.
