Windows7 issue in mutli- tasking and memory
- by Nitesh
I seeming some problem in my windows OS recently, let me first say my system configuration.
processor - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66 GHz
Installed memory (RAM) - 4.00 GB (3.00 GB usable)
System type - 32 bit operating system
I am using two OS in this system, first one is Windows7 and the other is centOS. Well, I am using this from a long time there was no problem , and all of a sudden since from couple weeks I am facing problems in my Windows7 OS.
In windows7 i was nearing using multiple jobs almost every time i log in, there was no problem but now i don't no what happen I am not able to do multiple jobs at same time.
For example-
1 I am now not able to listen to music in windows media player and view photo's. All of a sudden the system stops working and does not respond and then respond after 5mins and the music get played where it got stopped after 5 mins.
2 When i start browersing internet it hangs all of sudden and doesn't respond for 2 or 3 mins and gets loading.
I mean it just happens for every operation i do in the system. Even now typing was also difficult, it gets hanged very frequently even though i am doing single task. I have never come across this kind of problem before.
So the first thing i did was to see the useage of the processor and the memory. Well, i thick the useage of the processor was fine, for single task the useage was some where around 3 to 5%.
Well, it was something weird i found in the memory, in spite of no task that i was running it was using somewhere around 34 to 41% of memory. So i opened the task manager and click on resource monitor in performance tab. And in the memory section of the monitoring tool i found the usage of my RAM, it was something like this.
Hardware reserved - 1029 MB
In Use - 1430 MB
Modified - 49 MB
Standby - 1566 MB
free - 22 MB
And i could also see
Available 1588 MB
Cached 1615 MB
Total 3067 MB
Installed 4096 MB
well, this if all i could find out and i have no idea why my computer is acting so weird all of a sudden and the performance problem is growing day by day and i also don't know if there is problem in Bios, i have let it for default settings from long time.
please help me and Thank you in advance for reading this and helping me.
