Thanks everyone, I was having the same issue and added handles and GDI and saw BCMWLTRY.EXE, the Dell wireless tray util, is creating handles nonstop. In the end, as suggested by magicandre1981, the issue was the Dell Wireless (Broadcom) LAN tray app: The pagefile is not large enough for the system to move all this unused memory to disk.Often (but not always) this is due to a memory leak in the app. Some app (or multiple apps) allocated a lot of memory, and is not actively using most of it.The fact that most of your memory is in this state means two things: Modified memory is memory that was allocated by some application and then removed from the application's working set, usually because it hasn't been used for a long time. In TechNet article Having a problem with Excessive "modified" memory usage in Win7 圆4, upwards of 3.6GB, any suggestions?, a user with similar symptoms (large shared/modified block) finds: Worse, in your case, the pagefile is not large enough to move any of the leaking process to disk, so you have essentially forced it to leak exclusively into physical RAM. This looks excessive and possibly indicative of a memory or handle leak. Even if you had 64GiB physical RAM installed, if Firefox exceeds usage, it will exhaust its memory limit. So, for Firefox, which does not have a 64-bit version, this means that Firefox is ultimately limited to 2GiB (PAE) or 4GiB (圆4) of user space memory regardless of installed RAM. See: Pushing the Limits of Windows: Virtual Memory) of memory whether that memory is currently paged into physical RAM or onto disk. Neither a 64-bit OS nor PAE enables any 32-bit process to use more than 4GiB (2 user/2 kernel on 32-bit/PAE, 4GiB user on 圆4. "Modified" memory is effectively no different than "In Use" if starved of disk pages. The 3.3GiB is ready to be paged to disk, but you have no space allocated for it, so it remains in physical RAM. Approximately 4GiB are in active use, and an additional 3.3GiB is inactive, but also in use. It is not missing, nor is it even unused. I have restarted Chrome and here are stats: Here's my Chrome browser running after several hours of last it's restart, with 29 tabs: I tried using Chrome and eventually like with Firefox, it crashes with either message seen here or results in BSOD or blank screen where restart is the only way to work again.
Looks like my whole system has memory leak.
WXHEXEDITOR WINDOWS OPEN RAM MISSING UPDATE
UPDATE 3rd May, 2014 - I don't think problem was in wireless adapter process. WLTRAY.EXE has not been mentioned here but look at this: This is what I see in Task Manager most of the time and opening another 5-7 tabs in Firefox causes " Low Memory" warning to appear. Notice " Available" and " Free" memory from above screenshot. The point is that it is big all the time: I would then have to restart programs using most memory (Firefox is one of them) to continue working normally and not losing any unsaved changes.Īnyway, II have noticed that although system sees 8GBs of RAM, it still uses half of it and I will demonstrate this with screenshots further.Ĭombined screenshots of System Information and Task Manager:Īnd finally my swapfile condition at one time and another.
Have been sitting with 8GBs of RAM for 2 years still thinking I needed another 4GBs and never questioning why so often I get message about low physical memory that would close all open programs (Firefox mostly since it is mainly what I use) if not paid attention to immediately.
