Desktop Windows Manager High RAM Usage

Ever since I got a new monitor, desktop window manager reaches incredible RAM usage. I've seen it allocate 43gb of RAM and use 7.5gb(I have 16gb of RAM). Desktop windows manager will slowly increase its RAM usage until I black screen and it gets reset. Does anyone have a fix for this?
