Solutions to the problem of consumption of RAM in the computer

 Most computer users suffer from this problem, even those who have a large RAM size. The problem of consuming RAM may cause the computer to crash and hang up, and also may cause a great slowdown in the device. For example, you notice that the computer and the mouse do not move, and this may happen when browsing, but we must differentiate between the browser beating, which is due to other reasons, and the lagging of the device in general, which is often due to the consumption of RAM or memory on your computer. And when the RAM is consumed, you will notice a severe decrease in the performance of the device or notifications from Windows with the same memory on your computer and slow performance of the programs. Certainly, this problem is very annoying, and you may imagine that the problem is that the RAM in your device is somewhat small, but the problem is not so. Through this topic, we will review solutions to the problem of consuming RAM in the computer. Continue after the break.

In the beginning, we will review a set of problems that cause the consumption of RAM, whose solutions are very simple in the form of points below and a solution for each of them, and you must verify them first before continuing the topic.

1. Many programs in your device: Here is a very easy solution to the problem, as you remove the programs that you do not use. There are programs that work with startup or programs that you use that consume RAM. For example, you opened a Photoshop program with a protection program with other programs, and they all work at the same time, and the capabilities of your RAM device do not allow that !. The RAM is consumed here!
2. Your device is infected with viruses that consume RAM: This is definitely a problem, as there are a group of viruses that aim to work on your device in the background and consume RAM in order to slow down your device and lose you data. The solution is simple and is to scan your computer and remove viruses.
3. Your use of a program needs higher capabilities from RAM than what you have: If you try to use a program like Photoshop on a small size of RAM, such as 1 GB or less, then here the program will consume the entire RAM and the device will start to thicken. Here, the solution is either to dispense with the program or update the capabilities of your device from the RAM.
4. Your use of more than one protection program: You must use one protection program on your computer, and here I mean anti-virus programs, so Avast cannot be used with Casper. And when I told you this before, I did not only mean that these programs contradict each other and cause problems in your device, but also if the capabilities of your processor and RAM are low, then here you will face a big problem with the consumption of RAM and the poor performance of the device in general.

We also, through a previous topic entitled Speed Up Your Computer, presented a set of steps to make the device faster. Indeed, some of them were also dependent on not consuming the RAM on your device. There are some errors that you make that cause the consumption of RAM, and you must beware of them, and you must examine a set of things and apply solutions in order to avoid this problem, which causes loss of data as well, since when the RAM is consumed, the device will start to heave and thus the mouse will stop working and you are forced to restart the device . But do not worry, through the following points we will present solutions to the problem and you should implement them.

1. Stop the programs that are running with the start of operation.

It should be noted that every program that works on your device, whether with the start of operation automatically or by running it yourself manually, consumes part of the RAM, which causes the device to thicken and slow down as well. And download !. Therefore, I always recommend stopping the programs that run with the start of operation, or specifically stopping the programs that you do not need.

To stop programs that you do not need from running at the start of operation, follow these steps:

Click on the Start menu, then choose Run, then type msconfig, then choose Start Up, then delete the check mark in front of the programs that you do not want to run at the start of the operation, then click OK.

2. Increase the virtual memory on your device.

One of the best ways to increase your RAM space is to use virtual memory, which enables you to convert an area of ​​the hard drive into a fake RAM on the device, thereby improving the overall performance of the device. Perhaps this feature is similar to converting a flash memory to RAM, which we have explained before. All of these methods are great for increasing the RAM without purchasing additional RAM for the device.

To increase the virtual memory on your computer, please follow the steps below:

You go to the Control Panel, then you click on the System icon, then Advanced system settings, then you click on Settings under Performance, then you go to the Advanced window at the top, and then you click on Change at the bottom.

Here you can choose. Either you put a checkmark next to "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" and here, Windows automatically manages the fake memory space, or you put a tick next to Custom size and you choose the area that you want to convert to RAM in your device, and you will have to enter two values They are Initial size, which is the first or starting size, and Maximum size, which is the maximum size.

Now the problem has become clear. The programs on your computer consume part of the RAM, and here you either dispense with these programs or increase the RAM on your device. As we explained, there is a method like converting the flash memory to Ram, fake RAM, or other methods. But I think that the best option for you is to reduce the programs that are running at the same time to suit your RAM, and also, as we mentioned before, do not consume Windows 7 on less than 1 GB of RAM. I hope the topic was useful and clear as well, and thank you.
