  1. RAM usage extremely high and source undetectable


    Hi,


    I noticed that one of my games was crashing on startup, so I started tracking down the issue. Then, I realized that my PC uses 4 GB of RAM when it's idling. However, when I go to task manager and then to "users", I can see that my user account is only using 1.5 GB of RAM. This is a serious problem and I would like to know how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    is this of some use for you?

    @AddRAM: RAMMap did nothing as I emptied all the lists. At first boot RAM usage is normal, but when I work or play some time it kinda stacks up the RAM. Snip of the resource monitor
