What is the RAM of windows 7. How to reduce the use of RAM? How to clear RAM.

The free trial described today computer program   (the famous manufacturer) will help (perhaps) those users who are always short of memory, which have little of it.

It's about - it will allow you on time clear random access memory   computer   by defragmentation.

Personally, I think that such programs are a temporary and forced solution to the problem of lack of RAM. Completely remove this issue can only physical increase in its volume (purchase additional bar   operatives).

But not all users can afford to easily shell out for such an acquisition - RAM for the computer today is worth a lot of money 🙁.

How to determine the lack of memory

Very simple. After starting the computer it works for a while quickly, and then starts to "blunt". The programs start to run slower and the browser barely rotates the pages of the sites - there is not enough RAM in the computer.

Clear the computer's memory Wise Memory Optimizer allows you to turn off unnecessary users of it, shutting down unnecessary background processes and defragmenting it.

In Wise Memory Optimizer, manual mode is available and automatic - the program at the right time (when the specified number of occupied memory is reached) itself cleans.

By the way, the producers of this program are the same that they created excellent cleaners.

Let's clean up the memory (: connie_13.) It's very simple - launch the downloaded (according to the official link at the end of the article) and installed Wise Memory Optimizer ...

We go to the settings and expose the Russian language ...

Each user personal computer, which at least once reinstalled Windows, knows that immediately after installation, the system runs much faster than a few months of its use. This situation, first of all, is due to the fact that the computer's RAM, speaking in plain language, is clogged. Also, other factors come into play, for example, the register, which is clogged with "unnecessary" information. However, their role is insignificant.

   How to unload RAM?

1. Certain programs in the course of their work almost completely load the RAM of the computer, and, after closing them, the memory is not unloaded. If there is a similar situation, simply    Restart the computer    . In this case, the memory will be completely erased, and the computer will start to work much faster.

   Important!    Typically, this situation indicates weak optimization software, which loads RAM. Its use is best avoided.

2. If the RAM is constantly clogged, then it should be looked at which processes do not allow the programs to function normally. To do this, we run    Task Manager    (keyboard shortcut    Ctrl + alt + del) and look at the "    Processes    ". Here we will see which programs take the most RAM. In order to unload the RAM, we find a "gluttonous" process and click on the button "    Complete the process ».

3. If the program load is loaded by the program that is in the startup list, that is, it starts immediately after the start of Windows, then it must be removed from there. Launch the Startup Edit utility (    Start - Run    and dial    msconfig). In the window that appears, select the "" tab and delete unnecessary programs, taking off the tick.

   Important!    While unloading the RAM, be careful not to complete the processes necessary for normal operation of the system, and also not to close programs with unsaved parameters.

Many computer users are faced with a decrease in the speed of its operation after a certain period after switching on. The reason for this are fragments of programs that clog RAM - RAM. After cleaning all unnecessary, you will increase the performance of your PC or laptop, sometimes significantly. Below we give several ways to clean up your computer's memory with Windows 7.

Remember: the user does not have all the RAM of the computer. Part of it is used by services operating system   and sometimes a video card. Only the remaining volume is designed for data processing launched by the user   software, it and it is worth cleaning.

The most effective way to clean up memory is to disable all programs and leave only the one with which you are working. This solution is especially effective when the computer has a small size of RAM.

Statistics of the use of RAM can be viewed in the Task Manager in the "Performance" tab. It is started by simultaneous pressing of keys Ctrl, Alt and Delete or Ctrl, Shift and Esc. By opening the specified tab, you can see the used and free RAM. As a rule, free memory is always a bit. The Applications tab displays the running programs, which must be closed to clear RAM, so it can be cleaned.

To "superfluous" processes it is possible to carry agents of the programs which are not carrying out any useful functions, except monitoring of Internet resources of their developers for presence fresh updates. You can disable them using the utility that is included in the basic Windows program set. Start it with the "Start" button and enter the name msconfig in the search bar at the bottom of the window that appears. Clicking on the result found, in the "Startup" tab, remove all unnecessary checkmarks and restart the computer.

Third-Party Software

Increase the speed of the computer will help several utilities from this list:

1. RAM Memory Cleaner and Optimizer. Instantly frees up RAM while reducing the speed of the PC.
2. MemoryCleaner. Works in the background. In each case of lack of RAM, the program removes empty blocks and defragments RAM, thereby freeing free place   in it.
3. VC RamCleaner. Checks the memory for the presence of broken fragments. For a few seconds it frees them, increasing the efficiency of a PC or laptop.
4. CleanMem. Removes non-working program fragments from the RAM.
5. nCleaner. Utility for comprehensive maintenance of the OS. Among other functions, defragment the RAM and optimize its operation.

All these programs are free and do not take up much space in memory. Their use is guaranteed.

Other methods

1. Disable Windows Defender. If an antivirus is running on your computer, its operation is only duplicated by the Defender, taking up space in the RAM. Start the Control Panel from the Start menu, find Windows Defender - Programs - Options - Administrator. Uncheck "Use this program" and confirm the selection by clicking the "Save" button.
2. Disable Windows Aero. The shell, which makes all Windows OS, starting with Vista, so beautiful, also consumes a lot of resources. On the Control Panel, in the "Performance Counters and Tools" tab, there is an item to configure visual effects. Select "Ensure the best performance" and confirm the selection.
3. Adding hardware memory. If all of the above methods are of little help, you might want to consider buying an additional RAM strip. Please note that you need to install the RAM in a free slot in the same way as the volume and type. To know for sure which memory is installed, you can use a special utility - for example, Everest.

Stability and productivity of a personal computer depends on its configuration. A considerable role in this is assigned to the operative memory. It, no less, determines the performance of the computer, acting as a kind of intermediary between the central processor and hard drive   or other medium of information. Let's figure out how to properly clean up operational or physical memory on a Windows PC.

Types of computer memory

Computer memory is a system that includes various memory special devices that interact with each other and with the central processor.

Physical RAM is a volatile part of the system used to temporarily store the programmed code read from the media and any other input or output data that is then processed by the processor. Its functions are realized using a random access memory (RAM) in the form technical bar   with microcircuits, inserted into special pairs of nests on motherboard. The information accumulated in the RAM modules is lost when the computer is turned off. Therefore, this type of memory is called operational. Its volume for today is estimated in gigabytes. Usually these are slats from 2 GB and above. The operation of a computer running Windows 7 without installed RAM modules included in the general logical chain is impossible.

  Installing the memory slots in the slots intended for it

When there is a shortage of RAM, a virtual one is used, which allows you to automatically redistribute the load by moving parts of the running applications to the area allocated for this purpose on the hard disk. Physical permanent memory (ROM) is used for long-term storage of information, which is stored even when the computer power is turned off. The whole array of information is located on a hard disk with Windows 7 installed. Also, data can be stored on any other media (flash drives, dvd-disks).

There is also video memory, built directly into the video card. With its help, an image is created on the monitor screen.

The physical memory load (RAM)

The increased load on the main memory can cause a slowdown, and in some cases even a computer crash. In case of instability, it is necessary to understand which processes are used to consume resources. Use the standard combination Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the "Task Manager". In the window opened through the menu item "Processes" you can see how and in what volume the RAM is consumed. And its total consumption in percent is reflected to the right at the very bottom of the open window.

  Consumption of RAM in Workflows in Windows 7

The "Performance" tab shows the allocated RAM (in corresponding units) for running threads and processes, the amount of available, cached, free memory, the chronological schedule of its use, and the kernel data.

  The "Performance" tab displays detailed information about the allocation of RAM

Methods for cleaning RAM

Reducing the amount of memory consumed in all cases of increased load, leading to a slowdown windows Workflows   7 is an effective way to troubleshoot an issue. To do this, perform a number of actions to clear RAM and optimize its operation.

Closing unused programs

All open applications can be identified by icons located at the bottom of the Desktop.   They are also shown in the "Task Manager" on the "Applications" tab. To close an unused program at the moment, you must remove the task, having previously marked the application with the mouse. This method is especially relevant when some programs hang, for example, such as Word or Excel. But this kind of application closure is an emergency and should be used only in extreme cases.

  Disabling hung or unused applications to free up RAM

Stop background processes

Closing many programs does not always lead to their complete stop. Many background processes continue to operate. This especially applies to torrents and similar software. Often, such applications deliberately leave operational processes running even after the program is closed. Stop them in the "Processes" tab in the "Task Manager". And on the Services tab, you can stop the default services that are not used by the system, but consume resources. In this case, the background processes associated with them will be deactivated.

Please note that after the system is restarted, all changes you have made will be lost. To prevent this, you should disable unused services on the corresponding tab in the "Administration" section, opened via the control panel. Select the "Disconnected" start type from the context menu.

  Selecting the service start mode

Table: Allowed to disable the service

You can also stop and then disconnect the service from the command line. To open it, enter the combination from the Win + R keyboard and execute the cmd command. Further in the command line   write and run net stop<имя запускаемой службы>   or sc stop<имя запускаемой службы>   and then sc config<Имя выбранной службы>start = disabled.

Optimize application startup mode

The Windows 7 configuration has a useful function that allows you to load programs in automatic mode together with the start of the system. Many applications are initially configured to use autoload. But this is not always necessary, because each program, launched in this way, takes over part of the RAM resources. Type the Win + R combination on your keyboard and run the msconfig command. In the window that opens, on the "Startup" tab, uncheck the applications that do not need to start automatically and save the settings.

Among the users of computer technology there is an opinion that there is never a lot of RAM ... And with this, the dear reader, you can not argue, especially when it comes to modern machines, in which the hardware configuration corresponds to solid characteristics, and the Windows system installed on the PC is 64 bit version. However, the "sick" problem of many - "the physical memory of the computer is loaded, what to do" - still continues its inglorious existence, baffling an ordinary user and sometimes forcing an experienced computer guru to break his head over the "lack of RAM" task. However, we will not introduce ourselves into the incomprehensibility of "operational misunderstandings" and resort to simple but nevertheless effective methods of diagnosing and optimizing the computer swap of the system. Well, the article promises to be memorable. RAM-secrets are waiting for their exposure!

Guard, the physical memory of the computer is loaded!

What to do and how to deal with it? Probably, such questions come to the user's mind when he becomes an unwitting witness to the monstrous slowdown of the Windows operating system.

• With each subsequent startup of the PC, the startup of the OS all slows down and slows down.
• The clickability of the operating system at start-up and during use becomes unbearable due to the "long-playing waiting process".
• Once the "flying" applications, to put it mildly, will take off long.
• Incomprehensible service messages attack the monitor with its "unobtrusive" presence.

In general, any of the scenarios described above (not to mention their complex manifestation) can quickly drive any user crazy. But not every "expectant" understands that all of the above can be the result of our own omissions. And hardly ordinary user generally knows how to make sure that the physical memory of the computer is loaded?

What should I do first if the PC has lost its speed?

Of course, first of all, you need to diagnose the system. And everything necessary for this is provided in advance by Microsoft developers. Well, it's time to move on to the practical part of our narrative.

• Click on the taskbar (the lowest area of ​​the screen) with the right mouse button.
• From the drop-down list, select "Dispatcher ...".
• Once in the working area of ​​the same service window, use the "Performance" tab.

• Visually presented graph will allow you to estimate RAM. If you have Vista or a later version of Windows installed on your PC, the value of the memory used should not exceed 70-75% of the total physical swap value. Otherwise, you need to unload the RAM area.

Problems with memory start with the start of OS

When you observe that the physical memory of the computer is loaded at 80% or above this value, pay attention to the startup. Most likely at the moment start Windows   the service activates many background applications and various software. Often this is why RAM is overloaded, literally "tearing" between requests for multiple programs to allocate the amount of memory they need to work. However, it is quite easy to fix this unpleasant situation.

• AT search line   launching windows menu   write the msconfig command.
• After pressing the "Enter" button you will enter the "System Configuration" service menu.
• Activate the "Startup" tab and edit the priority list of the launched software.

You will be surprised how quickly your OS will boot after the restart of the system. Nothing prevents you in practice to make sure that the problematic situation, when the physical memory of the computer is loaded on "Windows 7", will be exhausted, after you remove all unnecessary from the startup.

How to clear RAM: two "fundamental" ways to optimize

Let's start with the main thing - you need to disable the unused software. Typically, in order to see which programs are running in the background, you need to look into the special area of ​​the OS - the system tray - and from there (by pointing to the object and clicking the right button) deactivate the selected software. It may well be that immediately after you implement the proposed recommendation, the question "The physical memory of the computer is loaded, how to clean" will be fully resolved. After all, some of those working in applications are incredibly "gluttonous" in terms of using system RAM resources.

Another way to free up memory

So, in order to see which programs or utilities "covertly" consume the kilobytes and megabytes of RAM you need so much, do the following:

• Press the key combination "Alt + Ctrl + Del".
• After you get into the service window that is already familiar to you, open the "Processes" tab.
• Analyze the list and use the manual correction method to turn off the background application that you do not need at the moment.

However, do not rush to deactivate the "aggressive items", as disabling some critical Windows-based services can be detrimental to the overall stability of your OS.

"Miracle" -optimizers of RAM

When the computer's physical memory is loaded by 90 percent (from the previously presented section of the article you learned that such a value is a deviation from the norm), some of the users rush to clear the RAM area with various utilities. However, not many of them guess that this kind of RAM optimization is a waste of time, since they do not contribute anything concrete to the solution of the problem that has arisen. The "promising functional" of such optimizers only creates the illusion that memory is released, while introducing some difficulties to the OS ... Be sure: the manual method is much more efficient and more expedient in carrying out than the alleged "help" from third-party developers. By the way, about this (second) method of RAM optimization, we advise you to just forget ...

Malicious code and methods of its detection

Often the user asks the question: "The physical memory of the computer is loaded: the virus or not?". This problem is especially acute when all the above actions were implemented in practice. What is the matter and why does RAM continue to lose its working potential? Let's understand.

• Download from the Internet one of the antivirus utilities: Dr.Web CureIt !, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or HitmanPro.
• After running application   will finish scanning the system, infected objects will be cleaned, and malicious viruses will be subjected to the removal process.

It is worth noting that not always installed on your PC traditional antivirus is able to fully protect your system from penetration and subsequent negative impact of a particular "digital infection". Therefore, it makes sense to test your OS with the help of the above utilities.

When the amount of RAM corresponds to the concept of "NOT TOO"

If you work in the Word and simultaneously listen to music using an Internet browser, and you see that the physical memory of the computer is loaded by 77%, there is no cause for concern. But if things are different, it makes sense to consider the problem from a technical point of view and ask some questions: how many RAM modules are installed on your PC and what are their nominal "capabilities"? It is worth noting an important fact: depending on the version of the Windows-system used, the requirements for the amount of RAM can vary from 256 MB to 2 GB (only for the "needs" of the operating system itself). Well, if you still decided to use a resource-intensive program on a computer with limited RAM, it's just right to think about expanding

Summing up

So, with certain certainty, we can say that once you have a difficult situation, "the physical memory of the computer is loaded, what to do" has now been resolved. Nevertheless, one important "operational" moment is worth mentioning.

• If you use Windows Vista, the seventh OS or later versions of the product "Microsoft", then if you do not have enough RAM, you can try to disable the service "Superfetch".

Well, the last: do not miss the opportunity to upgrade your PC - adding an additional RAM-module will significantly expand the functionality and "combat capability" of your computing equipment. Do not let your computer get lost in unconsciousness!
