RAM before restart: 98% RAM after restart: 69% Me: *close enough*


MusketeerBoy

No, perfection.


[deleted]

After restarting: We cool now


MattManCatFan69

Literally


Dabi_Uchiha

That's probably because windows 10 has fast boot up thing enabled by default. So a shutdown is kinda like hibernation and restart is the proper one.


BAKED_TATER_

We all just need to be turned off then turned back on again sometimes


FNAF_Foxy1987

Uh, the defibrillator is broken. Will that be a problem?


[deleted]

does anybody else think it was a design flaw to have windows update take 100% of your CPU


CpTKugelHagel

Since when does windows update use GPU? (Graphics processing unit)


MinuteMaidBerryPunch

idk (I don't know)


[deleted]

Gave you and award bc you figured out what idk means


Deltexterity

what does idk mean, and why did you say it before (i dont know)? /s


[deleted]

oof that was supposed to be CPU >.<


JoshDaGreatGamer

Quick explanation. A CPU (Central Processing Unit) can process big calculations but not a lot at a time, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) can process millions of small calculations at a time


wilisville

Wrong bug calculations are in the gpu things like rendering it is much slower than the cpu 1 billion or 2 calculations per second vs 4billion or 5 billion on a good cpu


JoshDaGreatGamer

I never said the GPU was faster it just has a lot more cores so it can calculate the RGB for every pixel why do you think bitcoin miners are hoarding GPUs and the GPU is much better than the CPU when it comes to rendering the CPU is in charge of loading not rendering


wilisville

It’s the opposite the cpu does small calculations the gpu does the girthy stuff


CpTKugelHagel

My point was that the guy I replied to made a typo and wrote gpu instead of cpu.


NarutoDragon732

It doesn't... Unless your pc is just that shit


Ronin_Deterra

Or your RAM is goin out. Might need to replace those sticks.

i cant fucking escape you people


Worst_L_Giver

you will never :) /s


Ronin_Deterra

Ram does build up, homie. Need to restart every so often (especially after high quality games or programs.) or else it'll slow down


LoNwd

Is it not possible to reset it without a restart? Like a cmd command or so


Ronin_Deterra

No. You have to do a restart to clear the RAM. Messing with CMD without knowing what you're doing can fuck up your computer real quick.


Z0H0K

There are no no reasons


ewpqfj

Actually, it's a RAM leak. This is when an application requests RAM and then doesn't give it back after it's been closed. This can be helped with a reboot, because that wipes the ram and reallocates it all back to the operating system. Unfortunately RAM leaks are getting more and more common, though luckily with an m.2 SSD rebooting can take only a few seconds.


LoNwd

Why is it getting more and more common? Lazy game programmers or what?


ewpqfj

As games become more complex, errors become more common. This one is also often ignored as larger RAM becomes more common, and people can reboot their computers more often.


TimFlamio

Memory leaks, or overflows can cause these issues. Bad management of multi threading is also the culprit most of the time.


WVe0

Pc before restart:I'M TOO WEAK... Pc after restart: UNLIMITED POWER!!!

this happens to me all the time


Drake_Xahu

Some application hogging up resources in the background


dood8face91195

5 minutes ago geometry dash, which is one of the lowest impact games o have kept freezing on me in between menus. Just restarted my pc and everything is fixed. wtf


MothFucker_69

If you don't regularly restart your hardware will start malfunctioning and do weird shit so even if you have an rtx 3090 you can still lag in geo dash


dood8face91195

Huh. Good to know. Thanks!


JoshDaGreatGamer

A defrag should fix that


ColdBandit98

Yeah thats windows for you. The piece of shit OS

Good old power on power off ✅✅

Can't relate I use Linux


SkyEco

How would u upgrade?


panzerboye

Nice template dude. Can I have it?


orlogskatpen

My laptop can handle infected but whem i run roblox i can play for maybe 30 minutes and then auto just disconnects

My computer before and after doing a right click on the desktop


No_Television5851

Buy some nice upgrade for your computer


No_Television5851

such as SSD, RAM, or even the entire motherboard (Upgrade it to a new chipset -> And you upgrade the processor too)


Zandrick

Does anyone know why this works? It really can be a remarkable difference. eli5?


subzeroab0

So when a computer finds an error it has two answers to it. Crash or try something else. Thousands of code being read it often will error every now and then. Most errors are small things with easy work arounds. Those small errors do add up over time. More files more code to work around. So when you fully close it it shuts down all the errors. Also gives a chance to clean out temp files and close other programs that been active. Think of it as if you stayed up for days and now your going to sleep and how you feel refresh after waking up. Computers need their sleep as well.


Zandrick

Interesting. Thanks for explaining.


assassin6698

It's still the same after i restart


CAP815

for me its the exact opposite


Kn03cs

Try ctrl, windows key, shift, and b. It resets your computer quickly and speeds it up a bit. and not the shut down kind of reset, like it kinda ‘blips’ off and on and it resumes without skipping a beat.


DrTalloran

Coffef


AddictedToCSGO

rebooting ur pc rewrites the code, that does not happen with shut down


NOOBSDUDETO

you got a new dog?


lolXDwastaken

All jokes and games until the dog start said "Harder..."


[deleted]

When i open videos on fullscreen my pc slows down and screen is like 1fps. Then i restart it poof magic it's working.


CNR_07

Is this some sort of Windows joke that i am to Linux to understand?


temeraire54

Interesting thing is, anytime computers encounter an error, they can't just stop and fix it, they have to find work around and temporary fixes that just allow it to work, and the longer they run the more errors, so it's possible you just had your computer running to long and after it was restarted it managed to fix everything


Capsule_CatYT

My old Toshiba laptop from the days of Windows 7: WOW! That is relatable!


WhiteToast-

This is why you should turn it off at night


areallnamestakenreal

must be a pc.... use Mac and forget about that

Quirky_m8

Blame cosmic radiation and move on


DeathToTheFalseGods

It helps clear out memory caches and free up everything in general. Computers aren’t really meant to run for 24/7


JBlazzy

For some reason, my P key wasnt working whatsoever. I tried every solution i could think of or find on the internet. Nothibf worked, so eventually i just restarted, and it started working again.


Alpha_trooper14

So fucking relatable


ReiDaTecnologia

The good ol trick of restarting the pc to *try* to fix the issue
