Virtual Memory Fills Up Uncontrollably

  • 0

I have a Dell with a Core2Duo and 2GB of DDR2 667MHz RAM. I have my Virtual memory set to around 1.5 to 2 times that and use my D: drive for additional virutal memory. I don’t use my System drive just so my OS doesn’t crash.

My memory keeps filling up as my computer stays on longer and longer. It goes upto 11GB. I have never seen any computer let alone mine do this.

I am not sur if it is some setting or a virus of some sort. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

  1. What you see is usually the result of rouge software like a virus or malware infection. Have you scanned for these?
    I would suggest you look at the processes tab in task manager to see what is consuming the most resources.
