Windows 10: Laptop is using 13 gigs of RAM while idle

The title is pretty self explanatory, it's using 13Gb of RAM while idle and I don't know why.

I have a MSI GS66 16gb RAM.

Here are some screens: https://imgur.com/a/HWFjmeu

I tried reinstalling the killer drivers, that didn't help at all.

Don't know what to do, any advice?

My laptop uses nearly 5 Gigabytes of ram when idle

Greetings,

I wanted to use my laptop to do a bit more than just browsing the web and i noticed that it was not as performant as i expected.

After verification on the performance bar of the Task Manager I noticed that almost 5 Gigs of Ram were constantly being used even with nothing running (I even turned off some background running programs like skype or steam but nothing changed).

On the web I generally found people saying that a pc at Idle should use a bit more than 2 Gigs of Ram, so what is happening here?

I have an Asus Vivobook pro with 16 gigs of Ram.

If anyone can help in anyway I'd appreciate it very much.

P.S: I'm not an expert of computers so I'm sorry in advance if I seem to not understand what you'll explain.

Here's a screenshot taken with chrome running

 

8 to 16 gig of Ram HP Beats Laptop ?

( Solved, laptop died , brought a better tower pc. )



I need advice to do this .

Laptop :
HP Beats 15 Notebook : G6R14UA#ABA

OS:Windows 10 Home
CPU:64-bit OS, x64-based Processor : AMD A8-5545M APU
with --Motherboard:BaseBoard Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
Memory:RAM - 8.00 GB .
Graphics Card(s):-- Radeon (tm) HD Graphics, 1700


I want 16 gigs of ram for now .I have only 130 dollars at the moment. So maybe i can only get one stick for now .
From watching videos, the ram is accessible with a little effort.

But what kind of ram ? DDR3 8 gigs each ? Sodium ? Un-Buffered? How many teeth ?

This is the first time shopping for ram upgrade for a laptop .

 

Best 13 inch sub $1400 laptop?

I'm looking for a laptop, preferably under AU$1400, which has a reasonable battery life, and looks cool. It needs to be small (13 inches or smaller), as I'd use it for schoolwork and don't want to lug around a seperate bag for it.
Minimum specs:
C2D @ 1.66 GHz
Intel X3100 graphics
120 GB Hard drive
3 hours battery life
13 inch screen, or smaller
2 GB RAM

It doesn't need an optical drive, and weight doesn't matter much.
I'm thinking along the lines of an Asus U3 or something, but i'm sure that there are better or cheaper laptops out there. Don't suggest a Macbook; I don't like them, or an Acer; they look bad.
Any other suggestions are welcome, especially ones under $1000!
