Computer Memory Leak

I hate it when my memory leaks. It came out my ears once. Luckily I noticed it before it all came out and I was able to get ear plugs in (people think they are just to protect your hearing from loud sounds, not so). I caught the rest in a cup until it stopped leaking and I could use a funnel to put my memory back in. :P

Ok back to seriousness. Do you know what program has the leak? Your best bet would be look for a patch. There isn't really any other solution to a memory leak, all you can do is reboot.
 
Does that actually work? I find those programs say they do stuff but actually do very little. I might give it a test run or two later.

It always did for me. When I rip LPs and cassettes to the PC using Nero Wave Editor's recording console, it's the only thing that empties the ram when starting a new rip. Otherwise I get glitches in the rip because of writing to the swapfile. Even restarting Nero doesn't clear it out. Also, when I close Netscape, the data in RAM isn't released until I run WinRam. Those are just two examples.

hmm, that might be a glitch in your software's coding, ALL the programs I use release most of their memory when I close them.

My Internet is leaking, I'm running a Windows XP SP1 or SP2, i'm not sure if SP2 ever installed.

What do you mean by a "patch"?
 
How do you know your internet is the cause of a memory leak? Do you even know what a memory leak is?
 
a memory leak is when a program designates memory space for a program/task, and doesnt give it free after it... so your best bet for resolving this issue would be toupdate your software.
 
There seem to be a lot of definitions of what a memory leak is.

A memory leak is when a program loses direct or indriect access to memory it has allocated for use. For example, if I had a program that asked for 4KB of memory space and assigned to a variable called 'leak' then asked for another 4KB of space and assigned it to leak, the original 4KB is effectively lost until the programs built in garbage collection runs, if the language has it, or it exits and it's memory space is cleaned out by windows.
 
LOL.

thealmightone, you know your 7900GT, how did you voltmod it? Did you only do the VRAM or did you do the VCore as well? I can't seem to be able to increase the VRAM no matter how much graphite I put on it. The Vcore is easy to do enough, I'm running my XFX 7900GT at 1.5Volt at the moment.
