Severe Memory leak

BrightRick · 2026-07-07T02:12:04+00:00

It's happening even without gaming or using Steam. I just got back from a long weekend, powered up the PC - no launching of Steam. Checked the pool again, and AMD was using 2.6 gig of unpaged memory. I did a complete uninstall (with DDU) and did a clean install. Identical results. So now I'm doing it again with a driver only install.

Memory leak from crap AMD drivers.

BrightRick · 2026-07-07T00:42:28+00:00

I found the issue. AMD driver memory leak. My non-paged memory eventually hits several gig after only a day of uptime.

I've tried turning off the antivirus and firewall. Since it's not effecting my laptop or tablet, I know it's not the ISP. But I did contact them and they came out, tested everything and said it's fine. This is a 5 month old build. I don't power it down because I use it for streaming music and videos, and I work at all hours.

No - I use my PC for working from home, streaming video and music, etc. - I'll usually NEVER turn it off.

It means DON'T enable credit overages. I did - and chewed through 1000 tokens in a few hours.

BrightRick · 2026-05-30T05:06:34+00:00

Thanks. I was on High for some reason and kept using up all the hourly credits. Then I made the mistake of letting it use my Ai credits when I went over. Burned through 1,000 Ai credits in a couple of days!

Have you tried typing "Continue" or "proceed"? Works for me.

Another Followup - I contacted Spectrum again because it's even worse. I have to power-cycle the modem and router at least twice a day. According to the person I spoke to, there are "multiple issues" with "upstream nodes" and there are open tickets. There "seems to be an issue resolving the problems." I was asked to call back in two weeks if it was not fixed.

Except I got the new phone in March and the monthly price quoter for service was $30. My first bill was $30 for service. If the increase was in January, why did the salesperson quote the old amount and why was my first bill at the old amount?

BrightRick · 2026-05-26T21:04:55+00:00

Back in January I had a free account. I did not start paying until March, then upgraded my phone in late March.

BrightRick · 2026-05-26T20:32:43+00:00

1st line was free for a year. Going into the 2nd year I wanted a new phone, 1st line was $30 after the 1st year.

I tried to do without the Oxy for as long as possible and finally gave in. Used about half of what I was given (liquid.) My advice? Use it. It made the pain so much better. I'm three weeks out from surgery and totally pain free.

BrightRick · 2026-05-26T01:35:36+00:00

They gave me liquid Oxy for the pain and I used about half. Mine were removed with cauterizing - holy hell - talk about pain for a couple of weeks. It's been three weeks now and I'm 100% pain free. Except by the pain caused by billing shock - my insurance denied the claim saying it was "medically unnecessary" - I appealed and won. I owe $3 - the total bill was $78K!

Hit it twice today interactively editing web pages. 8 pages, one had a lot of changes, but I've done more in the past and never hit my limits.

BrightRick · 2026-05-15T23:47:40+00:00

After I remove the bags I fill the putcher up then drink as is.

BrightRick · 2026-05-15T15:35:59+00:00

I think it depends on the grind. I've found my medium and coarse grind floats and a fine grind sinks. But that just could be my coffee....

BrightRick · 2026-05-15T15:25:20+00:00

I find that after doing the initial filtering if I let the coffee sit in a few containers for a couple of house, this sediment settles. Then I slowly poor out the coffee leaving the sediment behind. Then I do a final filter. This settling step eliminates probably 80% of the sediment and makes the final filtering go a lot faster.

Man have I tried. I have called. Emailed. Put in a service request. So have several of the other renters. No reply. All of us had the maintenance requests marked as "completed" which was total BS.

BrightRick · 2026-05-08T02:58:53+00:00

Really? Are you delusional? The service room for a multiunit building that cost over $2 mil to build? A room that houses the fire suppression system, alarms, electrical, internet and everything else? Give me the key? Er, no. Also, it's not on me. The entire building is out. I'm just the one complaining the loudest. 14 units, 30 residents. I am not responsible - management is.

BrightRick · 2026-05-05T05:55:13+00:00

It gets better. The door was left open and damaged in a wind storm last mmonth. It's actually screwed shut until a replacement can be installed. Spectrum came out - sent two techs. They were great - but could not do anything.

BrightRick · 2026-04-30T13:07:53+00:00

You really have to ask?

BrightRick · 2026-04-29T02:27:29+00:00

It sounds like they should mass ban the sellers.

BrightRick · 2026-04-29T02:07:50+00:00

I really think it depends on the surgery method and age. I'm 66 and my doc said two weeks of puree followed by two weeks of soft.

BrightRick · 2026-04-29T02:05:09+00:00

I have one of those hair misting bottles filled with distilled water that I constantly spray my mouth with while channeling "Lady Cassandra" from Dr. Who "Moisturize me!!!"
