It appears I have a memory leak in the process unknown -1

Question

Paged table keeps getting larger and larger the longer I leave my computer on, it appears it's from an unknown process, what can I do to find out what it is?

Answer 1

I began uninstalling/re-installing everything i have installed in the past week a few at a time in hopes of it being one of those, the last two things I have uninstalled were Razer Surround Sound and Intel 3.0 Drivers, one of these two was causing the leak as the leak has now stopped.

I'm leaning towards Razer Surround as I just googled it and other people are having the same issue.

Answer 2

i think you should read this:

Identify the processes with the largest usage. You might see N/A and “Unknown (-1)” as process names. N/A contains pages not associated to any processes such as driver pool memory. “Unknown (-1)” contains shareable pages.

Answer 3

I dont think its an memory leak, seems your system got infected by a virus which is creating dump pages . And also it is from an unknown process which implicitly notifying that it might be a virus. Download and install antivirus and malware detector tool and scan it once.
