Hello everyone I have m17x I purchased last week .when I installed any game on it.During installing the RAM becomes 99% and the windows freezing's I can not do any this happned when I tried to install any game. the installing takes like 30 to 50 minutes to complete it. Does any one have same problem. Is this from RAM or Hard Drive but the CPU goes to 5%.after the installation finished the laptop need 15 min to get back to normal mode.

I need help. Do I need to change RAM?
make me crazy

 

click on the processes tab and see what is causing the memory leak.

 

Check what process is using the memory.
EDIT: Oh, I didn't see your post. Sorry.

 

causing the memory leak from If I installed any games. only happens with installation game. then I have restart computer because it's freezing

 

no, what they are saying is go into the 'Processes' tab in the Task Manager to check exactly WHAT process is causing the memory leak. It might not be the installation program itself. We need to know WHAT process is leaking memory to help you.

 

Yeah, as Mandrake said
Go to Task Manager Process Tab
click on Memory
and check what's causing the leakage.
or, post a screenshot here.

 

4GB ram is a lot, i think its the software problem or maybe the hardware, but not because of not enough of ram. do what they said.

have you tried fresh installing windows ?

 

see another screen shot.just when I was installing game.

I restored original windows but still same problem

 

run memTest http://memtest.org/ and see what happens

Btw, next time show the installation of a legal copy of a game

 

Happens to me occasionally too.
Windows freezes 1-2 times every day and you can't do anything for 1-3min. Can't even open the Task-Manager etc.

 

Yeah...do you get the same problem with different(official)~ installers?

 

Yep. If I install a game, I can't do anything on my computer, because all tasks will freeze. Pretty weird.

The weirdest part is, that nothing is showing up in my Task-Manager.

edit: During installations my PC would freeze every ~5 minutes for 2-3 minutes.

But if I install something, I just go get me a drink or smoke in the meantime

 

Have you disabled SuperFetch? SuperFetch is Microsloths pre-caching software and unless you're just using office applications is useless as freaking hell. It'll try pre-caching game installer, game data files, all sort of stupid stuff. If it's not disabled, disable it.

 

do a fresh install, not a restore.

 

Thanks for the good idea, I'll try it out.

edit:
So I completely installed Borderlands from scratch and thanks, I finally got no more memory problems during installations (I hope Borderlands Install CD is no exception)

I recommend the following instructions to fayez999 and Momiji1. Would be perfect, if you could edit the following manual in you first post, IF that should have fixed your problem.

yeah id take that down before someone that you don't want to see that does see that... you never know who's on the other end.

 

I did run memTest but no error found let me tell you thing. there is Hard disk sound. Do you think from hard disk?

 

one more pic with Ground theft 4 when I was installing it.

Like everyone else said, you really need to look at the Processes tab in Task Manager. Sort by memory usage so that highest ranking programs are at the top.

Also, I'd suggest you ditch all the cleaning and 'boost' programs and get yourself CCleaner. Antivirus would be recommended, there are plenty completely free ones out there.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say your PC is highly infected, though.

 

I wonder if this is the same problem im having. Everytime I installed a game everything slows down (minimizing, maximizing, etc) when it reach 70-80% installation.

I didnt actually care about this problem but I'll try what swizzly64 instruction next time I install a game.. thanks for the thread..

 

Hm, the SuperFetch Fix wasn't a solution for me.

After I was playing GTA4 for 30mins, my memory just went crazy again.

I have no idea of getting rid of the problem. Memory is just sky-rocketing randomly.

 

ok, since my m17x didn't respond 15-20 times today, i'll call dell support tomorrow. they should completely exchange this peace of crap.

not even installing everything from scratch would work.

 

It actually sounds like wrong chipset drivers were installed.
Would be a good idea to browse the Event Viewer.

 

I've downloaded all Dell drivers from their site

Link removed due to your service tag being on the site

except the Video Drivers of course

 

Remove the link, it has your service tag.

 

Could you browse the Event Viewer and provide the error description from the last freeze?

 

Ok, I reinstalled the Chipset Driver and everything works smoother now. I just installed the driver over the same one. Probably had some installation issues or something other. I dunno.

If the problem persists I shall hunt it down with Event Viewer.

And out of curiosity: What could someone do with my service-tag number?

 

You've been pirating software from one of the oldest pirating rings Razor 1911. Razor 1911 is notorious for hosting after reopening after it was shut down spam and zombieware with the pirated games.

Your alienware is now a zombie under the control of whatever criminal organization wants. Your computer is now little more than a spambot for whatever criminal organization is in control of your computer.

You cannot see the program using the memory because you have been rootkited to avoid having it show up and no antivirus can save you once you have been rootkited. A rootkit is a patch to the OS itself, when built properly it cannot or nearly impossible to remove. If you are lucky you might find the rootkit as an unknown software title in Non-plug and play devices in your hardware manager - but chances are the uninstall if you attempt it will fail due to automatic re-patching which many rootkits do.

Your only option is to reformat and reinstall Windows and ceast to use Razor 1911. To the moderators of notebookreview, I request a policy of no mention of piracy allowed similar to what is done in console emulation development.

 

I second that and thread closed. Razor 1911 is software piracy and we do not allow discussion of that nature(see forum rules).

Op,
Bring it up again, and you will be banned.
