Sometime my memory goes up to 80%-90% and stays there for some 5-10 minutes.
The CPU duirng this time varies and seems normal. My disk light is on almost
steady. The memory finally does release and goes all the way down to
20%-25%, but the disk activity stays the same. During this whole time the
sytem is completely unresponsive and never frees up. I have to just shut
down the machine to do this.
Compaq Presario R4025
AMD Athlon 64-bit Processor +3200
1GB of memory (plan on upgrading to 2GB in the next week or 2)
2.0 Gigahertz
Radeon Express 200M (128MB memory on card)
The strange thing is this happens very randomly and sometime I am not an not
doing anything that should require a lot of memory. For example, the last
time it did this I just tried to explore the disk. I really like Vista but
this is becoming very annoying and I waste a lot of time. I am also worried
that by shutting the machine down like I have been doing is going to corrupt
something and make the system really unstable. I do not see anything in the
event logs that jumps out to explain why this is happening.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
