Windows 10 memory leaking

Hi i have this problem for quite some time and I'm unable to solve it. First i noticed this, when windows start showing me error messages "Your computer is low on memory" when usually with the same apps running there were no problems. The longer uptime the worse it gets, so i began to suspect some leak is happening.


This is situation when the system uptime is 9 days (I'm hibernating twice a day, it's hibernated when i sleep and when i'm in work) and everything memory consuming is closed.

(memory usage 40% swap 48%; memory is 8GB swap (pagefile) is 2GB fixed)

(paged pool - 397 MB; nonpaged 206 MB; 8GB Ram, 319MB hw reserved (iGPU))


this means used memory is more then 3GB but sum in task manager - process tab is no more then 700 MB.


poolmon screen
(show something with tag fdmg that (if I understand that well) didn't free 2GB of memory.)


so i used findstr -l -m -s fdmg *.sys and got this http://i.imgur.com/0pnHbFs.png


and now, I'm lost, what to do now? My system have some issue, but i don't know where the paged and nonpaged looks ok in task manager, but still, something is eating my memory and not giving it back. What to do? Only reboot helps, but sometimes the memory leaks faster and rebooting every other day is really not solution, and I'd like to avoid reinstalling.


system specs: sandy bridge i3, 8GB ddr3 1333MHz, iGPU HD3000, SSD, 3x HDD, win10 pro x64 upgraded from win7 months ago.


EDIT: It's been some time and it seems to be fine, i had 20 days of uptime (reboot for updates two days ago). I'm not sure wheter I solved the problem or just eliminate it just enough to stop the "low memory" messages. What I did was updating bios to the newest possible (2014 is latest), also some bios tweaks by setting the iGPU memory by hand, although I think It didn't change anything. What I think was the one, switching from Chrome to Vivaldi. Memory is now much more stable, and It's returned when browser is closed. I don't blame the Chrome solely, probably interplay of "unsupported" cpu under win10, hibernating, and that stupid chrome :)


poolmon is now ok, the most eating tag is 160MB and then some in lower tens of MB with Vivaldi running about 80 tabs.


EDIT for duplicity My problem is probably unique by not finding some specific driver causing the leak, instead it looks like Chrome has problem with something. This is still not solved, just symptoms was eliminated for now.

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y...

linux - Extract/save a mail attachment using bash

Using normal bash tools (ie, built-ins or commonly-available command-line tools), is it possible, and how to extract/save attachments on emails? For example, say I have a nightly report which arrives via email but is a zip archive of several log files. I want to save all those zips into a backup directory. How would I accomplish that? Answer If you're aiming for portability, beware that there are several different versions of mail(1) and mailx(1) . There's a POSIX mailx command, but with very few requirements. And none of the implementations I have seem to parse attachments anyway. You might have the mpack package . Its munpack command saves all parts of a MIME message into separate files, then all you have to do is save the interesting parts and clean up the rest. There's also metamail . An equivalent of munpack is metamail -wy .

ubuntu - Why does my USB hdd returns SG_IO: bad/missing sense data?

I am able to boot and run commands from external USB hdd; the message in question appears for about 45 seconds then booting continues. GRUB2 is installed on internal HDD. When choosing to boot directly to /dev/sdb the message doesn't appear, however boot time is about the same as booting to internal HDD. /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 1018 MB in 2.00 seconds = 508.97 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 80 MB in 3.03 seconds = 26.37 MB/sec pfeiffep@de:~$ sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument Gparted correctly identifies the drive as SAMSUNG MP0402H. Any ideas how to remedy the HDIO & SG_IO messages?

Desktop reboots itself on sleep or hibernate

I have been using an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard for main home desktop workstation, operating Windows Vista x64. This computer has right from day one not been able to enter hibernate or standby; after Windows performs its final actions and brings the machine down, it would automatically revive itself for a reboot. Updating to the second latest BIOS (1201)has not helped (the latest BIOS revision would induce video refresh problems rendering it unusable). I have been reading related discussions on incidents similar to mine to no avail of a true workable solution. They appear to be more speculative guesses rather than actual knowledge on the inner workings of motherboard hardware. Does anybody have any electronic engineering experience on PC energy-saving standards to provide a more informed opinion how to go about getting this to work? More stories: this motherboard could not even reboot properly the first thing i used it. It was due to refresh rate of the onboard GPU, which had no influe...
