I love the program, keep up the good work/etc.ĮDIT: The forum shrunk down the image (1920x1080), making the text unreadable. I have uploaded a screenshot I took just before it crashed, as well as a DxDiag with my system info. I used the program fine just a few hours ago, and no drastic changes have been made since, not even a reboot. Freeze, followed by slowness, ate all the RAM, then crash. Thinking it was just a fluke, I started it up again, same thing. At this point, it finally crashed / was killed by task manager / went away SOMEHOW, to my relief. Speccy kept eating up more and more RAM until capping out at about 4 gigs. I opened up Process Explorer ( ) and tried to Kill Process / Kill Process Tree / Suspend, still nothing. I tried to kill the process/process tree in Task Manager, no dice. The first thing I did was open Task Manager, which explained the freeze: Speccy was using an excessive amount of RAM. After this, it starts allowing me to do things. Whenever I start it up currently, it locks down everything and I am unable to move the mouse for about 10 seconds. And Piriform is not and exception in the least.This is the first time that Speccy has ever done something out of the ordinary for me. This seems to be a disturbing trend that is only accelerating. Folks, there comes a time when a piece of software IS FINISHED and needs no further updates. This seems to happen when developers are making changes just to make them and especially when they are groping for ideas to justify their very existence. I don't know why more and more previously working programs (speccy never had this problem before) are now being broken. While I don't know all the details I can tell you this isn't good for SSD.
But 6 disks like he has and whoaaa!!! 800megs!!! Additionally he said something about it erasing and re-creating another windows log file over and over again. He said that one or two disks isn't that bad.
He said that the log can grow to hundreds of megabytes overnight! Imagine that! The more disks you have in your system, the worse it is. It increases by a few KB every second and shows no sign of stopping till you exit the program. If you simply start the program and let it sit, it builds up a monster-sized log full of useless and repetitive information. A colleague of mine d'l the latest version of Speccy from Piriform and discovered that it hammers your main disk big time.
