My father has a dell OptiPlex GX 270 running windows 7.
For the longest time, it ran just fine and it only had 1GB of memory.
Now, just under a year later it has been slowing way way down. Now
I've figured out that it is due to all of the available memory being used
even after placing another 1GB stick in the machine.
But in both cases, when it had 1GB system memory and even after
it had 2 GB system memory, the system would "run out" of memory
after some period of time (5 min to 40 min) and it is SVChost.exe
taking up large large chunks. Sometimes as much as 500+ MB memory
for one single svchost.exe instance.
Any ideas of how to get this to stop, or identify which underlying processes
that are causing this? I'm running MalwareBytes Anti Malware right now.
Just strange that it worked fine for so long, and now it does this "memory
hogging" situations?
