I guess this would be a more appropriate section for my issues as opposed to the hardware section.
A few details about my setup first. The components of my self-build are listed below. I use www.freestockcharts.com for my charting and LightSpeed as my trading platform.
I have had no issues until I changed my set-up. I have 4 monitors running simultaneously as always, but now I have many more charts (e.g 9 on monitor 2) running at the same time.
My issues occur 2-6 times a day, where I will get a prompt (from AVG - anti-virus - saying something along the lines of my memory usage is too high (e.g. 826MB) and that I need to shut down Google Chrome or it may slow down. A few minutes after that, one of two things happen. Either freestockcharts.com will crash with a message saying: "A Plug-in Has Crashes, Silverlight Plug-in Crashed" (everything else functions fine) or everything freezes and I have to reboot.

I have a SSD, so the boot-up process is speedy and so far I have been okay in trades. However, I know that if I don't get this sorted, one of these days I will get jammed pretty good :eek:
The CPU runs at between 6-27% most of the times and the memory uses about 4GB (I have 8GB). I really don't understand where the bottleneck is getting caused, if that.
I humbly ask for help from those who should be working at Geek Squad, but just happen to be great traders
Thanks in advance,
SM
