Anyone getting a wacky "explorer.exe" process in task manager that doesn't release memory back ? It's acting like a memory leak, that eventually has Windows Debugging Manager Services crash. The system comes up and is fast, but as you use it, especially on the internet, it degrades and slows to a crawl. Explorer.exe grows exponentially and if surfing the net, Internet Explorer eventually crashes constantly. This occurs after a few hours of usage. I know that MSI has "GoodMem" memory manager program, but it gets too gung ho about recapturing memory and that gets the system to go slow after only a few minutes on "auto". The other option is to "clear once". I just think if the Delta L has a memory leak that MSI oughta fix it instead of slapping a background program on it. Weird thing about the GoodMem program, it jumps the Windows Task manager memory up as high as 600-700 MB, which on a 512 MB system causes it to page to the hdd and fragment it.

If any one has encountered it and found a fix, I'm all ears and greatly appreciative. What I did was swap out an ECS K7S5A for it and fixed XP without a clean install. Google searches of other with the problem indicates a clean install didn't fix the issue. At any rate, I'm open to suggestions. Thanx in advance !

Why not try another installation and see if that helps. We do not suggest changing over the previous instalaltions without a clean install.

Memory leaks are software related not hardware related. You could blame bad drivers or dodgy software but not MSI themselves... The extra utilities MSI bundle are just that - extras.
