[QUOTE="pjhutch, post: 757548, member: 35604"] Could be due to memory leakage ie programs that do not release all the memory that it uses properly. Also, it can also lead to memory fragmentation, the longer the computer is up, the fewer large areas of contiguous memory there is available. Unless, you reboot or shutdown every program, tool and service, there is no way to get the memory back properly. Updates and bug fixes fix some of them but eventually its best to restart it. [/QUOTE]
