Miscellaneous Utilities : RamMap - Nonpaged Pool

 

I'm going to run another test later. I disabled and blasted away the old driver. It was stubborn. I need the version you mentioned, but it's not uncommon for a previous version disrupting thing. To that end, I turned my system on today and checked it after 15 minutes or so, and then every hour for a few hours. It budget a grand total of .01. The usage was at 2.03GB, with 2.04GB once. That could have easily been anything doing a timed operation or check.

 

So, that tells me 2 things.

If that tells me that the unpooled memory might not be leaking anymore. Running RamMaps a few times a few minutes apart should result in no consistent increasing patterns like I had before. I will check that and report back.

 

The second thing it tells me is that I have/had more than one issue. Not unreasonable to imagine. The questions would be why am I running at 2.03GB sitting still, and why does my Active Unpaged pool read 1,415,352k (changes each time). I'm running 64-bit windows 7 with 32GB of RAM, but that's really only super important to know when determining the system limits. Not current usage.

 

is 1,415,352k nopaged pool too high? I would think so. 

 

OK, so I'm going to run that set of commands again and use what you used to see if I can't determine the culprit this next time around. If you have any other suggestions of things to try, fire away.

 

Thanks again for looking at this, btw.
