if I leave my computer unattended for an extended period, the RAM usage climbs up to around 80% and leaves me struggling to use my computer when I return. It is not one process that causes this - but nearly everything, Chrome itself can get up to 100,000 KB memory usage, along with every other process on the computer. The only way to resolve it is to restart my PC.
This doesn't occur if I stay on the PC and do not leave it unattended - but for reasons I cannot fathom, if I walk away for 15-20 minutes, it'll start to hog the memory and make it unusable again.
I've been told it's because of the Superfetch service - but upon disabling it, there was no notable increase in speed. My other Windows installations work fine - as does Ubuntu, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware issue.
Any suggestions as to what to try?
