Hi Guy's, I dont want to jeopardize your discussion here, but just to inform you I'm following this post with interest as I have recently got a very similar problem on my new installation W8.1 64 bits. It happens only when I'm playing a few hours with BF4, never when I work for twice this length with typical office type of apps
Symptom is simple, when the memory jam occurs, my game start to lag then I cannot play anymore even to a point I cannot kill it and when I'm looking at tasks and space meory occupation, nothing special to the size of all tasks but memory shows 99% occupancy like if if was reserved or lost zombie memory
I though initially it was a memory problem as I have just installed a stack of 32 gb at the same time of install 8.1, but why would it be HW if all the day it is working fine? So I'm now more looking same direction as you do
hoping you come to a conclusion
I found also this post Windows 8 Extremely High Memory Usage ~8GB!!!!! [Solved] - disk usage - Windows 8
where a"lot" of people are having similar behavior than mine...good thing is...we are not alone, bad thing is it's there since a year...
If you have Killer e2200, Wireless-N 1102, 1103 and 1202 you are probably on the same wagon as i am... If you want to make it happen without gaming, get a few free big torrents and leave them on... It will start to increase that Non-Page-Pool area...
