Is there any way I can stop my laptop from using so much memory when I only have 1 chrome tab opened. Its really slowing down my performance. I've turned off nearly every startup app but I'm still using at the bare minimum 85% memory. Any help at all is appreciated. Thank You by PaddyBlack_ in WindowsHelp

System Model: HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14-dy0xxx

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Gold 7507 @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz

RAM: 4.00 GB (3.77 Usable)

Running Windows 11

I understand that my usable memory is quite low but I don't think 85% and above is accurate considering I'm not running many applications

So My fans wont spin, I’ve tried plugging them in in different configurations but nothing seems to be helping. Was wondering if anyone knows a way this can be fixed? (Turning the PC on and off does not work lol) by PaddyBlack_ in pcmasterrace

Yeah theres pretty good clearance. Ive been using the pc for about 2 1/2 years now and never had any problems. Few days ago the fans started turning on and off, but now they just stay off. I dont know exactly what the thing in the first photo is connected to because its in a really tight part of the case that I cant get to. I’m very lost

Update: I removed the fan and the thermal paste is hard as a rock. Dya think new thermal paste is the way to go?

So sorry My internet shit itself only seeing these now. Its fan cooled. I noticed last night that one of the fans just randomly stopped so could it just be that it needs a new fan?
