Okay, well as some of you may know I replaced my SSD a few weeks ago due to odd lag when on the desktop, now it looks like its RAM.
Whilst downloading AW everything was fine and the rig had been on a few hours, then I open YouTube and it just lags..badly. I checked task manager which said the RAM was at 98% usage...err I had Chrome with four tabs, Skype and Steam open and I have 2x8GB of Dom Plats. Then the CPU jumped to 33% usage from 5 as Steam stopped responding, closed that, calmed the CPU but there was literally 40MB and the rest were like 0.1's for RAM processes.
HWMonitor doesn't see the RAM but task manager see's the 16GB in two slots fine. Rick managed to find something on regedit to edit about paged pool stuff so I changed that but I'm not convinced. Whats going on? I wouldn't even say its dodgy RAM either because its using the two sticks. Also tried Malwarebytes but that was clean.
It eventually calmed down but not back to normal, it still lagged when bringing Chrome back up etc.
Any ideas?
