Now today im getting messages from malware bytes saying ram usage is high, ram failure. Yet when i go and look at how much im using, i have so much ram not being used. It then tells me it cant locate my hard drive, picture attached showes otherwise, taken today.

On a side note, it told me the RAM temperature got to 86 degrees celcius

Im contemplating formatting my intire hard drive and/or uninstall Malware bytes. Advanced system care told me my system is fine.

Any advice?

edit: (RESOLVED: HDDlow was the cause)

I'm pretty sure that RAM temps should not go that high as it is just flash memory. You'd be hard-pushed to get your CPU that hot, let alone your memory. What frequency is your RAM running at?

Download SpeedFan and check your HDD temps, it might be something else is overheating.

I'm guessing it was moved from the FPSC boards to Off-Topic.

The first series of Athlons might've been able to reach that high, considering mine always idled around 74. Though I'm pretty sure most would fail at 86C if the PC hadn't already shut down from safety.

Between that and you mentioning the harddrive issues, by any chance did it say virtual ram and not just ram? Could've made a difference in solving the problem quicker.

I managed to push the intel celeron on my old laptop to 97 before it passed out.
