I think your problem might be related to the limited amount of memory 32-bit Windows'es are able to access. If you were on XP 64, I'd tell you to stick with it and not downgrade your PC to 7Garbage or the 8th Abomination.
perhaps, but i already decrease the cache to 4Mb to avoid the "by the hell" comsumption of RAM of the start or the bitcoin core.
cache 4Mb = 200Mb of RAM used.
cache 100Mb = 1,2Gb of RAM used.
In blockchain directory, much more files will be created. Any other disadvantage? BTW I running Bitcoin core with 100 Mb cache on winXP 32bit with 1GB total system memory and it runs fine
- but I dont have other programs open when Bitcoin core is running because it would start swapping the memory to hddFor me, it need long time to synchronize with the network, bro. How about?.
