Memory leaks / Performance degradation over time in Windows XP

Gannon

Is there anyway to detect if programs are leaking memory or consuming too many resources causing things to slow down immensely? Whenever I leave my computer on overnight and try using it the next day its noticably more sluggish then when I reboot the machine / just turn on the machine. Can anyone explain why this is exactly? Also could this be an issue with the hardware / drivers as well? I notice the computer swapping very heavily after I've left my computer on for prolonged periods of time (greater then 10 hours or so).
 
Have you examine Task Manager and see if there is a lot processes being used? Also check your task scheduler and make sure nothing fishy going on.

Run any spyware remover?


Run MemTest too to see if there any problems with your RAM.
