    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrashing_(computer_science)

    Thrashing occurs when there are too many pages in memory, and each page refers to another page. Real memory reduces its capacity to contain all the pages, so it uses 'virtual memory'. When each page in execution demands that page that is not currently in real memory (RAM) it places some pages on virtual memory and adjusts the required page on RAM.

    The "single click care" option scans all areas of the computer for optimization. The optimization tab is used to free up memory of the computer. The startup manager is used to manage programs that load at the computer's startup. [4] The registry cleaner has 12 categories of registry errors to detect and delete registry errors. [5]

  5. Memory leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

    In computer science, a memory leak is a type of resource leak that occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations [1] in a way that memory which is no longer needed is not released. A memory leak may also happen when an object is stored in memory but cannot be accessed by the running code (i.e. unreachable memory). [2]

  6. Crash (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_(computing)

    In computing, a crash, or system crash, occurs when a computer program such as a software application or an operating system stops functioning properly and exits. On some operating systems or individual applications, a crash reporting service will report the crash and any details relating to it (or give the user the option to do so), usually to ...

  7. Resource contention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_contention

    Resource contention results when multiple processes attempt to use the same shared resource. Access to memory areas is often controlled by semaphores, which allows a pathological situation called a deadlock, when different threads or processes try to allocate resources already allocated by each other. A deadlock usually leads to a program ...

    A web browser's cache stores temporary instances of web pages, allowing them to load faster next time you visit. Clearing your browser's cache is recommended if you're experiencing things like pages freezing, not loading, or being unresponsive.

  9. Fragmentation (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation_(computing)

    Due to the rules governing memory allocation, more computer memory is sometimes allocated than is needed. For example, memory can only be provided to programs in chunks (usually a multiple of 4 bytes), and as a result if a program requests perhaps 29 bytes, it will actually get a chunk of 32 bytes. When this happens, the excess memory goes to ...
