It doesn't matter if I'm playing a game or just browsing the web and it seems to happen randomly. All of a sudden, my computer slows to a crawl and task manager says 95-95% of all my memory is being used up even though I don't see any processes using any unusual amounts of memory. It goes away if I restart the computer or wait like 30 minutes but it's really annoying to deal with. I ran memtest and that didn't give me errors so it's not a problem with my RAM. Anyone have any clue as to what could be causing this?
Have you used media center to stream anything lately? I ran into a bug in Win 7 where if I streamed to my xbox and then turned off the xbox Meida center would keep allocating memory until there was none left. Pain in the ass.

Windows 7 and 4 GB RAM.
Did you click on "Show all processes from all users"? That might show some system processes that are the culprit(s).
Yeah, doesn't show anything out of the ordinary.

Nope, I don't use Media Center.
