Vista Hanging
Sometime my memory goes up to 80%-90% and stays there for some 5-10 minutes.
The CPU duirng this time varies and seems normal. My disk light is on almost steady. The memory finally does release and goes all the way down to 20%-25%, but the disk activity stays the same. During this whole time the sytem is completely unresponsive and never frees up. I have to just shut down the machine to do this. Compaq Presario R4025 AMD Athlon 64-bit Processor +3200 1GB of memory (plan on upgrading to 2GB in the next week or 2) 2.0 Gigahertz Radeon Express 200M (128MB memory on card) The strange thing is this happens very randomly and sometime I am not an not doing anything that should require a lot of memory. For example, the last time it did this I just tried to explore the disk. I really like Vista but this is becoming very annoying and I waste a lot of time. I am also worried that by shutting the machine down like I have been doing is going to corrupt something and make the system really unstable. I do not see anything in the event logs that jumps out to explain why this is happening. Any help with this would be appreciated.

It didn't really help, so I decided to avoid using virtual memory on my PC,
so all the Reading/Writing to the Hard Disk, which slowed down my computer, will stop. I don't no yet if it helps, but I will be glad to get more suggestions how to solve the problem. Do you think one more chip of DDR2 667MHz 1GB of memory will help? (Then will be 2GB of memory on this computer) Thanks Amity "TONY" wrote: hi Amity Waisel click start , type "indexing options", click "advanced", then "index settings" tab, click "restore to default"(not rebuild).
