RAM commit size ridiculously high and not accounted for by commits of visible processes

I am struggling with a ridiculously high amount of committed memory. I have a limit of 74 GB committed memory, out of which 65 are committed after some time of running the computer. Even when I close most of the processes, it doesn't drop in any significant way. The Process tab is set to show processes from all users and the amount of committed memory of the active processes doesn't even come close to the Commit (GB) number. I would say it barely exceeds 4 GB.

Specs: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP1 i7-3930k, 64 GB RAM, GTX 1070 GPU

This typically happens after a while of running the computer and using a wide variety of programs. Even when I close those programs, the memory is still in use/committed and not accounted for by the "Commit" column of any process in Task Manager.

I don't understand what is happening here at all and this forces me to restart my computer rather regularly, which is annoying. I searched many articles about this, but basically all of them say that I should check the commit-column in Task Manager, which shows a handful of processes, the highest one taking maybe 300 MB (I did make sure to active the display of processes from all users with that Admin-icon). This is ridiculous.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, that will be much appreciated.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
