drivers - Windows 8.1 - Non paged Pool - ATI 6950 Memory Leak
2014-04
duxck
I've seen a couple of questions regarding this issue, but there hasn't been any responses that has solved my problems so I will ask again and list what I've done to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help or input on this issue.
I've been having some issues since upgrading from Windows 7 64-bit to Windows 8.1 64-bit. Currently after I've been playing some games for a while my Non-Paged Pool gets filled up with 6GB of my 8GB of RAM. I am unable to clear this up unless I reboot my machine.
I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a while now without much success. The only way I know of how to make this happen less frequent is to "underclock" my gfx card through the Graphics Overdrive in AMD Catalyst Control Center.
What I've tested so far:
Uninstall Catalyst Control Center
- This helps a little, if I don't allow CCC to boot on startup or uninstall it it feels like it takes a longer time for non paged pool to fill up.
Underclock the GPU
- So far the best "solution" which isn't at all what I want to do. It makes the game more playable.
- Changed High Performance GPU clock settings from 800MHz to 500MHz. and Memory Clock Settings to 1250MHz instead of 1300MHz.
- This will cost me in game performance how ever and I coul just buy a cheaper card... Not a good solution at all.
Went through these steps - which have been suggested on numerous forums. http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/Direct-X-Function-error-Solutions-Compilation/td-p/1741229
- Solution 1: Change regional settings to English (United States)
- Doesn't do anything at all to solve the problem.
- Solution 2: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET msg pop up, didn't have that. But have shut off Origin In Game.
- Doesn't do anything at all to solve the problem.
- Solution 3: dbcdedit / set increaseuserva 2500
- Doesn't do anything at all to solve the problem.
- Solution 4: repaired, reinstall Virtual C++ Redist.
- Doesn't do anything at all to solve the problem.
- Solution 5: delete PROFSAVE_profile.
- Guess what, this doesn't do anything at all to solve the problem.
I am aware that from the get go these "Solutions" aren't originally intended to solve this problem. But the link has been posted several times as a solution to the problem. Non of these steps does anything to solve memory leaks and mainly aim to solve problems one experience with DX errors and actual error messages that will help you to trouble shoot correctly.
I have uninstalled both Origin and Battlefield 4. Cleared the registry of any traces of it with Revo Uninstaller Pro Cleared again with CCleaner Installed everything on a seperate HDD from the OS.
My setup:
- OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (6.3 Build 9600)
- CPU: Intel(R) Core i4-2500K 3.30GHz
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6950
- Main Driver: aticfxi64.dll, Version: 13.251.0.0
For example I play some Battlefield 4 (The game where this problem is most common) and after about 30 minutes to 2 hours of gameplay I experience huge FPS drops and will have to reboot the computer.
The Task Manager will look something like this at the time of reboot.

I downloaded poolmon.exe to find out which driver is hogging all the RAM. Turns out it is something called MINI.
The output from Poolmon looks like this:

Okay, I've sorted this for myself now. It is not a solution but more of a fix. I've noticed that if I run BF4.exe in compatibility mode with Windows 8 I don't get these memory leaks.
So if you're experiencing this as well, try the following.
- Go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4 - Right click BF4.exe (or BF4_x85.exe of you run it in 32-bit)
- Select the Compatibility menu
- Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for: " and Select Windows 8.
Press OK and try it out. Hope that this sorts it for some people as well.

Ubuntu detect memory leak
green
I run watch free and then observe a continuous memory used increment, about 100 every 2s. How can I know which process contribute to the used memory increment?
top and pmap does not help.
BTW, after I run echo 1 > /proc/sys/VM/drop_caches, the used memory decreased drastically. But it still keep increasing with the same rate.

I would use top and hit shift-m to sort on memory. If an app is leaking memory it's %MEM should be increasing and the number under the RES column should be going up.
Above the list of the processes, if your free is going down, but buffers and cache are going up, while the apps in the list are about the same, then you should be fine. This just means Linux is using your free RAM to avoid hitting your hard disk and such so it can run faster. If you're worried about it still, open a bunch of applications and Linux should lower how much space it's using for the cache and buffers as the free gets close to 0.
When you tell it to drop_caches, Linux probably has to re-read the same area of the hard disk it just un-cached, and re-caches it. We might be able to figure out how to limit the cache size if you really want to, but Linux is using your unused RAM to speed stuff up. Unless this is a laptop and you're trying to conserve power, you want it to use your RAM so it runs fast.
