I'm sure everyone has experienced it - if you leave a computer on too long, every once in a while, it needs a fresh reboot. I have a laptop, and I only hibernate it, but every week or two, I'm going to need to restart otherwise it will just slow down (usually when windows update makes me restart)
I was wondering though... why? What are some of the things that occur that eat up memory that can seemingly not be freed unless I reboot the OS.
In addition, are there any programs I can get that can free up this memory and keep the computer alive for longer? Preferably for windows 7.
1just Windows? i'm sure it happens on other OSs through right? Even my iphone requires a fresh re-boot every now and then. – RoboShop – 2011-02-22T06:52:40.460
