Why the RAM is clogged. How to reduce the use of RAM? How to clean RAM. Close unnecessary programs and applications

Among users of computing equipment there is an opinion that there is never a lot ... and with this, dear reader, you will not argue, especially when it comes to modern cars, in which the hardware configuration corresponds to solid characteristics, and the Windows-system installed on board is 64-bit Version. However, the "patient" problem of many - "the physical memory of the computer is loaded, what to do" - everything also continues his inglorious existence, putting an ordinary user in a deadlock and sometimes forcing the experienced computer guru to break his head over the solution of the task of RAM. However, we will not be introduced into the archus complaints of "operational misunderstandings" and resort to simple, but effective methods for diagnosing and optimizing the computer system of the system. Well, the article promises to become a memorable. RAM-secrets are waiting for their exposure!

Karaul, the physical memory of the computer is loaded!

What to do and how to be with it? Probably, it is that such questions come to mind the user when he becomes an involuntary witness to the monstrous inhibition of the Windows operating system.

With each subsequent inclusion of the PC, the launch of the OS is slow down and slows down.
The clicability of the operating system at the start and in the process of use becomes unbearable due to the "long-playing waiting process".
Once "flying" applications, to put it mildly, start lasting.
Incomprehensible service messages attack the monitor with their "unobtrusive" presence.

In general, any of the above scenarios (not to mention the integrated manifestation), it may quickly be crazy about any user. But not every "waiting" understands that all of the above may be the result of our own omissions. Yes, and is unlikely whether the ordinary user generally knows how to make sure that the physical memory of the computer is loaded?

What to do in the first place if the PC has lost speed?

Of course, first of all, you need to diagnose the system. Moreover, everything necessary for this is provided for by Microsoft developers. Well, it's time to go to the practical part of our narration.

Click on the taskbar (the lowest screen area) right-click.
From the drop-down list, select "Dispatcher ...".
Once in the workspace of the service window of the same name, use the "Speed" tab.

The visually represented schedule will allow you to appreciate RAM. If Vista is installed on your PC or later version of Windows, the value of the memory used should not exceed 70-75% of the total nominal physical swap. Otherwise, it is necessary to unload the RAM region.

Memory problems start from the start of the OS

When you see that the physical memory of the computer is downloaded by 80% or higher than this value, pay attention to the autoload. Most likely, at the time of Windows startup, the said service activates many background applications and various software. Often, it is for this reason that RAM is overloaded, literally "tearing" between the requests of multiple programs about the allocation of the memory required by them for work. However, it is easy enough to correct such an unpleasant situation.

In the pavement line of the Windows start menu, write the "msconfig" command.
After pressing the "ENTER" button, you will be taken to the System Configuration utility.
Activate the "Startup" tab and edit the priority list of the software running.

You will be surprised how quickly your OS after the restart system will be loaded. Nothing prevents you in practice to make sure that the problematic situation when the physical memory of the computer is loaded to Windows 7, will be exhausted, after you remove all the excess from the startup.

How to Clean RAM: two "fundamental" methods of optimization

Let's start with the main thing - you need to turn off the unused software. As a rule, in order to see which programs are running in the background, you need to look into the special area of \u200b\u200bthe OS - systemic tray - and directly from there (by visiting a marker to an object and clicking the right button) deactivate the selected software. It may well be so that immediately after you implement the proposed recommendation, the question "The physical memory of the computer is loaded, how to cleanse" will be fully resolved. After all, some of the applications work in an incredibly "voracious" in terms of using system RAM resources.

Another way to release memory

So, in order to see which programs or utilities "secretly" consume the same you need by KILO- and megabytes of RAM, do the following:

Press the "Alt + Ctrl + Del" key combination.
After you fall into the service window already familiar to you, open the Processes tab.
Analyze the presented list and manual correction method Turn off the background application that you do not need at the moment.

However, it is not worth a hurry with deactivation of "aggressive items", since the disabling of some critical Windows services can be adversely affected by the general state of the stability of your OS.

"Miracle" - RAM optimizers

When the physical memory of the computer is loaded by 90 percent (from the previously submitted section of the article, you learned that this value is a deviation from the norm), some of the users are in a hurry to clear the RAM region with various utilities. However, not many of them realize that this kind of RAM optimization is a useless waste of time, since they do not contribute anything concrete into solving the problem. The "promising functionality" of such optimizers only creates the illusion that the memory is released, while bringing some difficulties to work in operation ... Be sure: the manual method is much more effective and more appropriate in conducting, rather than the imaginary "help" from third-party developers. By the way, about this (second) method of RAM optimization, we advise you to just forget ...

Malicious code and methods for its detection

Often, the user is asked: "Computer physical memory is loaded: virus or not?". Special sharpness is such a problem when all the actions described above were implemented in practice. What is the matter and why RAM continues to lose its working potential? Let's deal with.

Download one of the anti-virus utilities from the Internet: Dr.Web Cureit !, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or Hitmanpro.
After the running application finishes the system scanning, infected objects will be cleaned, and malicious viruses will be subjected to the removal process.

It is worth noting that the traditional antivirus traditional antivirus is able to fully protect your system from penetration and subsequent negative impact of one or another "digital infection". Therefore, it makes sense to check your OS using the above utilities.

When the scope of the RAM corresponds to the concept of "not too"

If you work in the "Word" and at the same time listen to music using the Internet browser, and you see that the physical memory of the computer is loaded by 77%, there is no reason for anxiety. But if things are different, it makes sense to consider the problem from a technical point of view and ask some questions: how many RAM modules are installed on your PC and what are their nominal "abilities"? It is worth noting an important fact: depending on the version of the Windows-system used, the requirements for the operational memory may vary from 256 MB to 2 GB (only for the "Needs" of the Operations itself). Well, if you still decided to use the resource-intensive program on a computer with limited RAM, then it is time to think about expanding

Summing up

So, with a certain confidence, it can be said that once for you the difficult situation "the physical memory of the computer is loaded, what to do" is now permitted. Nevertheless, one important "operational" moment is still worth mentioning.

If you are using Windows Vista, the seventh OS or later versions of the Microsoft product, then with an insufficient volume of RAM, you can try to disable the Superfetch service.

Well, last: do not miss the opportunity to upgrade your PC - adding an additional RAM module will significantly expand the functionality and "combatability" of your computing technology. Do not let your computer go into infamous!

Question from the user

Hello. I'm trying to install one game, but when it is installed, an error appears that there is little RAM!

How can I free it? Yes, by the way, minimal those. The requirements of the game - PC satisfies. Is it possible to somehow set up a PC to spend less RAM?

Good day!

In general, the question is quite standard. When a shortage of RAM, not only errors may appear, with messages from Windows that "memory is little ...", but also to simply observe the brakes, for example, when opening any application (often the PC does not respond to commands at all).

In general, a mechanism for cleaning memory is built in Windows, however, it does not always work "as needed". In this article I will consider how to clear memory (free (more correct word in this context)) And also what to do to more effectively "spend" RAM. So...

To help!

Memory Cleaning Programs in 2 Click

Advanced Systemcare.

Excellent program to optimize and speed up Windows. Allows you to remove all trash with PCs for several clicks, defragment discs, protect against viruses and threats. As for our topic of the article - then there is performance monitor (To open it just right-click on the Advanced SystemCare icon (It appears in the tray next to the clock after installing the program) ).

After the performance monitor is open - look at the right top corner, there will be a small window that informs you about the download of the CPU and RAM. Actually, you need to click on the memory cleaning button (the red arrow on the screen below), and after a moment - the memory will be released from all over. In my opinion, cleaning passed, just in 2 clicks!

Memory is cleaned in Advanced SystemCare - 261 MB memory released

Wise Memory Optimizer.

Very simple and at the same time an effective utility for freeing and optimizing memory. After installing and starting the program - you just press one button "Optimization" (Your memory will be cleaned in a couple of seconds.!). The program supports Russian, free, works in Windows 7, 8, 10.

By the way, it is possible to configure automatic optimization when the memory load is reached, say, up to 85%. Conveniently - nothing will need to run manually (i.e., once configuring - the program will automatically optimize your memory).

What to do if not enough memory

Tip №1: buying a memory dice

Perhaps this is the most efficient and good advice, especially since now the prices for memory are quite democratic (especially if it comes to some newfink). When installing another additional memory strip - your productivity will increase as no program will do (unless, of course, the cause of the brakes is related to the lack of RAM).

Tip # 2: Close Not Used Applications

Many users for some reason do not close the applications, and simply collapse them (even in cases where they are not going to use them in the near future). As a result, as new applications, the number of memory used is growing, and the computer begins to slow down.

Note: In some cases, even when you closed the program, its process can remain hanging and loading the memory, and the CPU of your PC.

Therefore, I recommend when the first brakes appear - open the Task Manager (CTRL + SHIFT + ESC combination) , and see which applications spend the most memory. If the list has applications that you do not use now (Let's say some browser) - Just complete the process.

Tip №3: tabs in the browser

Because The browser is now one of the most necessary and popular programs, I want to focus on and on it. The fact is that many users in the browser are open dozens of a variety of tabs. Each open tab is extra. Load on the CPU and RAM of your PC. Try not to open a bunch of tabs, especially when it is not necessary.

Tip №4: Autoload Verification

Many software programs add themselves to autoload. And naturally, when Windows starts, they are loaded into memory (And they will be needed with the inclusion of PCs - it is not yet known ...). Therefore, I recommend configuring Windows autoload.

To begin with, open the system configuration:

press the button combination Win + R.;
enter the command msconfig;
click OK.

Note: In newer versions of Windows, this tab will be referenced to the Task Manager. It is in the task manager, for example, a startup service is configured in Windows 10.

System Configuration - Startup Tab

By the way, note that Windows shows the effect on the download opposite each application: low, average, high. Of course, first of all pay attention to applications that have a high impact on the download.

Tip №5: Restarting the conductor

In some cases, the conductor can load your memory very much (and not only her). In these cases, it is recommended to close it and run again.

To do this - just open the task manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc buttons), and right-click on the conductor (Explorer) - select "Restart", See Screen below.

If you closed the conductor - then you have a black screen and nothing more on it. Sufficiently open again task ManagerPress file / new task and enter the team explorer. Thus, we will launch a new conductor.

New task (Explorer)

Tip # 6: Disable unnecessary services

There are many services in Windows, and by default, many of them are included and operating. While many users simply do not need some of these services. It is logical to save PC resources (especially if there is a brake) - you need to configure them, turn off all unnecessary.

To open the list of services, click:

Win + R. (To make the "Run" window with the "Open" line);
enter the command services.msc. And press ENTER.

Next, disable the services that you do not need. For example: if you do not have a printer and fax, then you do not need a service: "Print Manager ", "Fax". The list of services you want to disable - for each user will be individual.

In general, the topic is quite extensive, I considered it in this article: (At the same time I recommend to optimize my Windows).

Tip # 7: Setting the paging file

By default, Windows sets automatically paging file that is used to "expand" your RAM. In general, in most cases, the system itself adjusts it and interfere with its work is not worth it. But in some cases, the configuration of the paging file in the manual version can slightly increase the speed of the computer.

To configure the paging file: first open the tab \\ System and Security \\ System . Next to the left in the menu Open the link "Extra system parameters".

Then you need to open a subsection "Additionally" and go to the tab "Parameters" (see the subtitle speed, screen below).

How to configure the paging file:

the optimal paging file is approximately 1.5 from the volume of RAM installed (Too big paging file will not speed up your PC!). By the way, the more you have RAM, as a rule, less file-swap;
if you have 2 ÷ 3 hard disk on your PC - place the paging file on the fastest of them (It is also recommended to place the paging file not on the system disk with Windows (if there is such an opportunity));
the paging file is hidden by default. To see it, turn on in the explorer, or use Total Commander. The paging file is called page File.sys. (Do not remove it, by chance ...).
by the way, the paging file is recommended to defragment. There are specials for this. Utilities:

Tip №8: Parameters of speed in Windows

By the way, when you configure the paging file, do not close the Windows speed settings. In the tab "Visual effects" Install a tick opposite the item "Provide the best speed" . It will also affect the responsiveness and speed of your PC.

Provide the best speed

In addition to this, I also recommend installing a classic topic, turn off the gadgets, etc., all sorts of frills and applications that are so like to install not experienced users. All this takes a sufficient amount of memory, and, of course, slows down the work of the PC.

On the sim all, I hope the mistakes with memory failure you will no longer see.

The deterioration of the computer speed is most often associated with the operational memory load (OP). Many open programs and applications significantly affect its speed.

Therefore, the easiest way out of the current situation is to reduce the load on the PC, optimizing computing processes. At the same time, there is no need to overload the system - there are several alternative effective methods.

Closing not necessary programs

The degree of efficiency of operation of the OP directly depends on open applications. Some of them belong to the system, which cannot be deactivated. In this case, the likelihood of a system error will arise or even more deteriorating computer performance. Therefore, a specific methodology should be followed depending on the type of active software (software).

Unnecessary applications

If the operational memory is so overloaded that it is impossible to enter the program (freezing) - you must perform the following actions:

However, there is a high probability of data loss. Therefore, it is recommended to use this technique only in the most extreme case. It is best to wait a while that the program moves to normal operation mode, and to complete it correctly.

Background programs

In addition to visible processes, background processes may be launched during the enfusion and operation of the computer. They are not visible in the current task panel, but can significantly affect the workload of the OP. To close them, you can use the above described method.

After activating the task manager, go to the Process Planmark. For clarity, you can make a sort of memory.

Active components will be located according to the degree of allocated OP volume for their work. You can finish certain processes only after complete confidence that their absence does not affect the speed and functioning of the PC. Such tasks include systemic, responsible for network connection and operation of external equipment (printers, scanners, etc.).

Some background processes can be displayed on the control panel in the lower right corner. You can determine the name to install the mouse on its cursor - the name of the application will appear in the pop-up window. In most cases, you can get out of it by pressing the right mouse button and select the appropriate menu item. For some antivirus programs, this function does not exist. First, you need to open the left-click on the left mouse button and already from the basic one to perform deactivation.

Clean the autoload

To improve the user's comfort, there is a startup function. During the launch of the computer, it initiates the selected applications. Some software developers configure the installation in such a way that the programs without the user will be launched automatically. In particular, it concerns background processes. Their removal from autoload can be made in the following ways.

Editing the contents folder:

on the system disk we find the startup folder;
it is located on the next way: C: \\ ProgramData \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ Startumenu \\ Programs \\ Startup;
it contains shortcuts loaded simultaneously with the operating system. To clean the startup, it is enough to remove an extra label.

MSCONFIG utility:

However, this method will not allow to release the OP - for this you need to restart the computer.

Restarting Windows Explorer.

Explorer is an integrated file manager integrated into the operating system. It is possible to reboot it without closing other operations.

Task Manager:

combination of the ALT + CTRL + DEL keys opens with a utility;
in the Processes tab, find the name of the EXPLORER.EXE image. By clicking on the "Complete" button, the process deactivate the task.

When this happens - the taskbar will disappear and the Start button. No need to fear - other applications will remain active.

To restart:

Command file:

on the desktop, a standard file is created using a notebook, which initially has an extension. TXT;
opening it, we prescribe the following lines: Taskkill / F / Im Explorer.exe, Start Explorer.exe
after saving, we rename it: "Restart Explorer.bat".

It is important to trace the change in expansion and pictogram. The latter should be displayed as a gear. Reboot Explorer after clicking on the file icon. The system will require some time - therefore it is not necessary to try to re-initialize. Otherwise, several conductors will start, which will lead to the opposite result - to reduce the free amount of RAM.

Video: Clean memory

How to Clean RAM without reloading a computer

One of the effective ways is to manually configure the Windows registry settings.

It will allow you to quickly clear the RAM and increase the speed of the computer. However, you immediately need to warn that the installation of incorrect values \u200b\u200bmay cause a decrease in the efficiency of work. Therefore, it is necessary to act strictly according to the instructions.

Command Regedit.

To turn on the command line, go the Start button and in the Standard folder click Run. In the command prompt, print the regedit, opening the registry menu.

Then you can perform the following procedures to increase the volume of free RAM:

This is one of the easiest and safest ways to improve OS parameters. However, during operation in the registry, multiple errors accumulate, fix that can be used only with the help of special utilities. The most effective are CCleaner and RegistryLife.

Removing viruses

One of the reasons for lowering the volume of free op is the presence of viruses. In addition to direct damage, they reduce the performance of the computer. To remove them, the above methods are not suitable - often viruses are hidden from standard detection mechanisms. It is best to use antivirus utilities - DrWeb, Kaspersky Anti-Virus. From conventional free, you can select Avast.

Currently, there is both paid, and conditionally free versions. With an increased intensity of work, it is best to use the first. After installation and first launch, the antivirus usually conducts operational diagnostics. Then you should run the full check of all disks, including the pre-site, before Windows boot. With this approach, the likelihood of a third-party detection is large.

For efficient operation of the antivirus, you need to follow the following rules:

install automatic update parameters.
in the settings, specify a full check for at least 1 time per week and correctly set the characteristics of constant monitoring.

Adhering to these rules, you can not only increase the amount of free memory on the computer, but also to protect it functioning, protect important information from a possible hacking.

Memory optimization

Currently, the so-called memory optimizers have become widely distributed. These are paid or free utilities, which, according to developers, correctly distribute processes on the free sectors of the OP.

In fact, they have very low efficiency. Best of all, a built-in manager copes with this task. To check this approval in the standard set of Widows, launch the application Resource monitor. By activating several software, you can observe a sharp load on the OP. However, over time, its level will fall to the old value. In this case, it was not closed.

During the functioning of the software, an appeal to different areas of the hard disk. If it is filled as much as possible - the operation time is increasing.

To solve this problem, you can enroll as follows:

delete unnecessary files from the hard disk.
perform its defragmentation, optimized the distribution of the place occupied by software. This is the standard Windows feature. The label for starting is in the folder standard, subfolder - service. After turning on the utility to start a process, you need to press the execute defragmentation button.

The best way to optimize OP is the removal of unnecessary software and the minimum volume of autoload. You also need to constantly check the antivirus and perform the registry cleaner. This will maximize the performance of the computer.

Most users of computing technology adhere to the opinions that the RAM does not happen much. Of course, it is difficult to argue with this, especially when it comes to modern machines, where the hardware configuration requires solid characteristics.

In addition, most of these devices have on board a Windows system, which is a 64-bit version.

Modern users often encounter a problem related to the fact that the physical memory of the computer is loaded. What to do in this situation? This question often puts in an impasse of an ordinary user and makes a professional breaking his head, trying to find a solution to the present task. It is not necessary to deepen the complexity of "operational misunderstandings", it is better to use simple, but at the same time effective methods for diagnosing and optimizing a computer system. It is about this that will be discussed further in the article.

What if the physical memory of the computer is loaded?

A similar question often comes to mind users who have faced the problem of the terrible inhibition of the Windows operating system. With the next enlarge of the computer, the launch of the OS is becoming slower. Thus, the operation of the operating system at the start and during use is made simply unbearable due to the "long standby process". If earlier some applications were "flying", then in case of certain problems, they, to put it mildly, start rather long.

Understanding service messages are still on the monitor, irritating their presence. Such a scenario of action, especially if they are manifested in comprehensive, is able to quickly reduce every user. However, not all of them understand that the reasons lie in the results of their own omissions. Therefore, the question will be considered that most users worries. It lies in how to make sure that the physical memory of the computer is loaded and what are the methods of correcting this situation.

What needs to be taken first if the device has lost speed?

First of all, it is necessary to conduct a thorough diagnosis of the system. It is worth noting that everything necessary to fulfill such actions is provided in advance by Microsoft developers. Thus, it is time to consider the practical part of today's narration. It will be necessary to perform the following steps:

1. Press the taskbar that is located at the bottom of the screen, the right mouse button.
2. Select "Dispatcher ..." from the dropping list.
3. After entering the workspace of the same name window, you need to apply the "Speed" tab.

The RAM utilization rate is estimated on the schedule presented visually. If Vista is installed on the computer or even later version of the Windows operating system, this indicator should not exceed 70-75%, taken from the total nominal value of the physical swap. When it turns out to be higher, it is worth unloading the RAM area.

Memory problems arise at the start of the OS

If it is found that the physical memory of the computer is loaded by 80% or even higher than this value, you should pay attention to autoload. It is likely that in the process of running Windows, this service activates all sorts of background applications and various software. As a rule, this is the reason for the reboot of RAM.

As a result, it is simply breaking between the requests of various programs to allocate the memory required by them. As it would be scary and hopelessly sounded, it is quite simple to correct this unpleasant situation. To do this, you must register in the Windows Start Menu Windows command "msconfig". Then you need to press the "ENTER" button, the user field falls into the system configuration utility. It will be needed to activate the "Auto-loading" tab and edit the priority list of the software running.

This will allow you to get rid of the problem, and the operating system will start significantly faster. True, after the proceeded manipulations have to reboot the computer. Make sure that the situation is fixed, and all unnecessary from the autoload is removed, in practice.

Methods for optimization for RAM cleaning

First you need to perform the most important thing, that is, turn off the unused software. Usually in order to make sure that the programs are activated in the background, you need to look at the special area of \u200b\u200bthe operating system. We are talking about the system tray. After all, it is from there that you can deactivate the selected software, bringing a marker to the object and pressing the right mouse button. It is possible that immediately after completing the proposed recommendation, the issue of cleaning the physical memory of the computer will be fully resolved. As is known, some applications running in the background, are very "voracious" in terms of using system RAM resources.

Another option that will help free up memory to see which programs "secretly" consume the necessary kilo and megabytes of RAM, the following steps:

1. Press the key combination "Alt + Ctrl + Del".
2. When you enter the Open tab, open the Processes tab.
3. Analyze the presented list and using the manual correction method to turn off the background application in which there is no need.

True, it is worth warming in advance, it is not recommended to hurry with deactivation of "aggressive items", because the disabling of certain Windows services, which are of particular importance, can negatively affect the overall state of the stability of the entire operating system.

"Miracle" - RAM optimizers

If the physical memory of the computer is filled with 90 percent, some users immediately try to clean the RAM-area when using special programs. True, not everyone is suspected that the optimization of the RAM of this species is useless spending time. As you know, they do not contribute anything concrete when solving the problem.

The developers of such utilities promise a wide functionality, but in fact there is nothing there. They only create the illusion that the memory is released, but at the same time they can make certain difficulties in the operation of the operating system. Thus, a manual method is much more efficient and more expedient in conducting than the imaginary "help", which is proposed by third-party developers. Therefore, for such a way to optimize the best forget.

Malicious code and options for its definition

Often, users have a question: "The physical memory of the computer is loaded: is it a virus or not?". This problem is particularly relevant when all the actions described above are implemented in practice. What then the problem is why RAM loses its working potential? This is how it should be understood. First of all, you will need to download the antivirus program from the Internet. It can be Dr.Web Cureit !, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or Hitmanpro.

Then you should scan the system using the running application, upon completion of which infected objects will be cleaned. At the same time, malicious viruses will be removed. It should be noted that the traditional antivirus program installed on the computer is not always able to provide a device with reliable protection. It is possible that in the future it will be subjected to attacks of a "digital infection", which will negatively affect the operation of the system as a whole. This is the reason that the OS is needed using the above programs.

What to do when the amount of RAM is not too big?

If the user works in "Word" and listens to music at the same time, using the Internet browser, and also sees that physical memory is loaded by 77%, it is not worth worrying. However, sometimes things are much worse. Therefore, it makes sense, familiar with the problem from a technical point of view.

Also worth asking for itself: how many RAM modules are installed on the computer, what are their nominal "abilities"? You must also specify the fact that, depending on the version used by the Windows system, the requirements for the operational memory capacity are capable of being located within 256 MB-2 GB. Thus, it is enough exclusively for the needs of the operating system itself. If it is decided to use resource-intensive programs on a computer that has limited RAM, you need to think about expanding the paging file.

Thus, it is possible to assert with complete confidence, the difficult situation associated with the fact that the physical memory of the computer is loaded, is now allowed. However, it is necessary to remember another important "operational" moment. When Windows Vista is used, the seventh operating system or later versions of the product developed by Microsoft, then when the RAM is lacking, it is proposed to try to deactivate the Superfetch service.

At the end it is worth adding that you should not lose the opportunity to upgrade your own computer. For example, adding an additional RAM module significantly expands the functionality and increases the performance of computing technology. It all depends on the user itself, or rather, its timely actions that will not allow the device to be in infamous.

Hello.

When too many programs started on the PC, then the RAM can stop grabbing and the computer will begin to "slow down". To this not happen, it is recommended before the opening of "big" applications (games, video editors, graphs) Clear RAM. Also, it will not be superfluous to carry out a small cleaning and configuration of applications for disconnecting all the few-used programs.

By the way, this article will be particularly relevant for those who have to work on computers with a small number of RAM (most often not more than 1-2 GB). On such a PC, the lack of RAM is felt, as it is called, "on the eye".

1. How to reduce the use of RAM (Windows 7, 8)

In Windows 7, one function appeared that stores the computer in RAM (in addition to information about running programs, libraries, processes, etc.) information about each program that the user could start (in order to accelerate work, of course). This feature is called - Superfetch..

If there are not many memory on the computer (no more than 2 GB) - then this function, most often, does not speed up the work, but on the contrary, it slows down. Therefore, in this case it is recommended to disable it.

How to Disable Superfetch

1) Go to the Windows Control Panel and go to the System and Security section.

Fig. 1. Administration -\u003e Services

3) In the list of services we find the necessary (in this case, Superfetch), open it and put in the column "Startup type" - disabled, additionally turn it off. Next, save the settings and reboot PC.

After rebooting the computer, the use of RAM should decrease. On average, it helps to reduce the use of RAM by 100-300 MB (not much, but not so little at 1-2 GB of RAM).

2. How to free the RAM

Many users do not even realize what programs are "eating" the operational memory of the computer. Before running "big" applications to reduce the number of brakes, it is recommended to close part of the programs that are currently not needed.

By the way, many programs, even if you closed them - may be in RAM of PC!

To view all processes and programs in RAM, it is recommended to open the task manager (you can use the Process Explorer utility).

To do this, press the CTRL + SHIFT + ESC buttons.

By the way, there is often a lot of memory occupies the system process "Explorer" (many novice users are not restarted, as everything disappears from the desktop and you have to restart the PC).

Meanwhile, restart Explorer simply enough. First remove the task with the "Explorer" - as a result you will have on the "Empty Screen" monitor and the task manager (see Fig. 4). After that, you click in the Task Manager "File / New job" and write the "Explorer" command (see Fig. 5), press the Enter key.

The conductor will be restarted!

3. Software for quick cleaning of RAM

1) Advance System Care

Excellent utility not only for cleaning and optimizing Windows, but also to control the computer's operational memory. After installing the program in the upper right corner there will be a small window (see Fig. 6) in which you can monitor the loading of the processor, RAM, the network. There is also a button to quickly clean the RAM - very convenient!
