I left the power supply to my computer at a friends and they'll be out of town a while, so I'm trying to get my old PC from '06 to work better.
It's Win7-64 w/ 3GB RAM (the 4th stick went bad) and I constantly prune processes while using it. It's rocking an OCd 5850 though :p
Every 3-10 minutes one of the many System32 svchost.exe processes suddenly starts taking up more and more memory, up to nearly 2GB. If I don't end the process early enough, my machine crashes. Ending the process doesn't seem to be detrimental to the functionality of the system in any way.
I would like to play some games on this without having to constantly go check the task manager. What could be going on here?
P.S. I know you like that ricey black/green window look.

Please. I am just fucking begging you. Kill yourself.

Check it with process explorer to see what is exactly using your ram. technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx But as TrustedInstaller is running at the same time that might be Windows update service, but check it to be sure.

Sup Forumsfags come over to my home (/o/) all the time asking for help with trivial car shit. Don't be condescending.
I put on the colors because windows basic saves memory and I just thought it'd be fun. This isn't my main computer; it's 10 years old!
Also, I have a feeling I know more about what's going on in my OS than you, but w/e. Also, I daily-drive Debian, not Win.
Ryan Gomez
process explorer shows what is in each and every svchost.exe
Matthew Murphy
Agreed but >weeb telling anyone to kill themself Top kakkles
Lincoln Sullivan
after he does, will your anime-man-child self follow him???
pls follow.
Anthony Hughes
I was aware of this, but it doesn't say which of the services are taking how much of the process's execution time / memory. I guess I can just close them out trail and error-style until I find the one that drops the memory usage.
Eli Nguyen
Please stop trip fagging it's embarassing

Does your user name have "user" in it? support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3053711 >In Windows 8.1, when the user account name contains the word "user", intermittently you will find the process taskhost.exe keeps consuming high CPU percentage.
Or maybe some other random Windows bug, who knows
Jacob Sullivan
You can force Windows 7 to run each and every service on its own svchost.exe.
Josiah Bailey
I'm from /o/, where ~50% of posters trip. It makes conversations easier b/c we know which car everyone else has. I've probably been using this trip longer than you've even known about this site.
Benjamin Morris
What's stopping you from doing a fresh re-install of win7+sp1?
Michael Sullivan
No it does not, but thanks for looking into it.
Adam Nelson
I don't have a disc or .iso of Win7.
Also, this PC started as Vista and I upgraded to Win7 in '08 or '09 when it was a free upgrade for college students so I can't revert (unless you know of a way that I can).
Chase Reed
>that doesn't make it ok here
Austin Bell
Oh shit, it's a pre-built. I fucking hate pre-builts, especially Dell and HP.
As if I care what you think. It's ridiculous that you get riled up just b/c I'm using an online pseudonym.

Is that your ride?

No, the last time I had an Eclipse was in 2006, and it was a red, non-turbo, 1995 (pictured). They do turn me on though.
Ayden Rivera
nice z32 bay
Samuel Garcia
i know how to help you let me text grandamfag and ask him if you're cancer first
Zachary Gutierrez
Well, I've already downloaded an iso for 7 home premium so I'm already on my way to a solution.

64 bit OS needs 4gb of ram as far as i know, reinstall win7 with 32bit and you are good to go
Sebastian James
>misconception.
32-bit OSs cannot use more than 4GB of RAM. However, a machine with 3GB of RAM still benefits from a 64-bit OS.

Dumb tripfag
Brody Lewis
i remember that i was not able to install a 64bit win7 on my PC when it had 2gb ram thats why i knew a bit about it
Ryan Johnson
Install GNU+Gentoo
Elijah Russell
I just read your conversation and now I realize how fucking stupid you are. Kill yourself
Kevin Thompson
>Contributes nothing to the conversation. >Calls me stupid because I use a pseudonym.
Stay classy, rando.

You're stupid because you talk about /o/ like it makes you cool, you think a basic windows """rice""" is cool, you left a piece of your computer at your friends house, and you're just so fucking ignorant
Nathaniel Cooper
"Rice?" Did somebody say "rice?"
Elijah Brown
Drop the trip, fag.
Carson Lee
U puddi, bro?
Jason Bell
you can use "Activation Backup and Restore" or "Token restore" to save the activation status, then reinstall and restore that activation. (It also works pretty well with OEM preinstallations)
Brody Murphy
I guess you think you're hilarious with your >reactionimage.png's
Kill yourself you fat autist
Robert Clark
I would buy the dark version.
Andrew Ward
Right click -> Go to service.

Windows 7 when running updates takes upto 5gb ram, not sure why. My laptop had 4gb ram and it gave an error message saying running out of memory. I took out an old 2GB module from other laptop and made it to 6gb, now the updates took close to 5gb and ran for 3 hours while "searching".
Windows is the purest form of cancer. If only gaming was possible elsewhere, I won't have to shove this cactus in my asshole everyday and cry myself to sleep.

Liam Evans
You don't buy rice, you make it.
Aaron Jenkins
I have already done this; even before I made this thread. It shows a lot of services running under each process, but doesn't say which services are allocated the most runtime or memory. It's cool though, I've figured this out.
Yes, I think I am a true internet comedian. You've got some serious anger issues, man, and really it makes me want to mess with you more. Also, I'm genuinely underweight, so, yeah.
Ethan Wright
Wew
Jack Richardson
Doesn't matter if it looks as shit as the two screenshots you posted
Justin Gomez
That's the beauty of ricing, you can make it look as fucked up as you want it to be.
