Maverick eats up ALL Ram installed and knocks out the system

Look at the memory pressure (Speicerdruck"): all is well, it is the way Mavericks works with memory).

If you uninstall Chrome for example not much will change, although you see in your list how much it uses, because that is the way Mavericks works with memory, great.

BTW I advise to uninstall it and use Safari.

You say "it happened again". What is "it"?

You have plenty of free memory and loqw compression of RAM, from the JPEG.

What is see that is very, very wrong is the system UIserver using ~ 7G. Mine, for example, with 8 apps open, is using 15.4M - 500x less.

So either you have:

1. a system user interface process that is damaged and running wild, or

2. a program that is causing such

Why do you not present the data that Linc asked for, instead of presenting useless screenshots?

Sorry if i pointed out the obvious, btu this htread has become long and winding.

Here's the issue: a properly working system doesn;t do this. Something is broker. So its nearly impossibel to "know" unless its been seen before.

Some proportion of installs go bad (write errors, etc). I dont recall if you did a 2nd clean install or not.

More often some incompatible or just bad 3rd party software either:

1. impacts the install,or

2. interferes after install

Thisis where most of the advice has centered. My advice was,and is, to:

a) use the CPU tab to look for odd threads running wild

b) selectively disable (not uninstall, just tenmporarily kill) threads until you can see a difference

My take is that while Google puts out some marginal code, a product from google wont be THIS bad. I would look for system impacting utilities - anti virus, file sytem modifier, UI modifiers, etc. etc.

Good luck. I realize its PITA. But since 99.99% work, yours can too. You need to find what's different.

Linc's stuff seems to be fine. Search here and see how many people have used it with good results. Are his posts intimidating? Yes. Does it tell us stuff, yes.

Because i will not execute unknown scripts

Did you check the coding of all non-Apple Applications ?. No you did not.

But if you want you can easily check all the terminal commands that Linc gave you by reading the book of Jo Kissel: Take control of the Mac command line with terminal (http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/catalog?pt=INTERNAL-FEATURED#).

But again: the screen shot you present does not present a problem: Unless you have far more memory than necessary, Mavericks will optimise by using it all. So even when you put say 2GB in more, it will eventually use that also. In Mavericks what counts is the memory pressure as I explained, as long as that is low (green) you can open new applications. So it is not Mavericks but some other piece of software that causes your issue. Maybe taking out GPG is not enough or there are leftovers of it.

You can of course find those leftovers (maybe not all) with Etrecheck, but you do not want to use it. There is a well known app called "FindAnyFile" that finds all files that contain the search string in their name, but I suppose you do not want to use that one either.

Then take your Mac to an Apple Store and ask them to sort it out for you. Lacking information it is not possible to help you.

I agree completely with Csound, but you will never know if and what software they use to find out 👿

No, I am not mocking you at all.

I think however that you make the wrong conclusions on the wrong data. Basta.

No one is mocking you, but I too wonder how you expect to find and fix the problem if you wont collect facts - either using scripts, test propgrams or plain old detective work in the console, activity monitor etc.
