Using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
A few times recently I've run out of RAM and I can't figure out why. I have 16GB of RAM which is typically plenty. I closed all the programs I was using, and according to the Performance tab of Task Manager, RAM usage dropped to 10.5 GB. For curiosity I added up the reported memory usage for all the processes for all users, and came up with 1,088 MB.
This is a relatively new problem considering the life of the computer, but doesn't happen frequently enough for me to figure out what I did to cause it. After a fresh reboot and starting all the software I work with (Thunderbird, Firefox, Notepad++, Photoshop) I use a little under 4GB.
I have not used a swap file in years, with no problems until now.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be welcome.
Thanks,
Mango
