Ram Usage

[RotatoGonzales]

Hello,

Does anyone know why i have such high ram usage on my pc? or atleast why taskmanager says that i use like 90% of my ram ( i have 16gb 3200 ) when i use max 7 gb at the moment?  i mean ok maybe windows is taking also a bit but thats never nearly 90% of 16gb ram or am i doing something wrong here? 

when i have nothing open after i boot up i have like 43% ram usage...and nothing is open legit nothing no steam fraps ccleaner etc all is closed.

Thank you for your help and stay safe!

@RotatoGonzales  Are you sure windows is recognizing all 16 gb?   It would seem like Windows only sees 8 gb.

You can't go by task manager, it doesn't account for everything.

 

You'll want to download process explorer from Microsoft and take a look at private working sets for each process and investigate from there.

When was the last time you scanned for malware?  I saw an article similar to your issue and it was solved by cleaning the system. The user had 2 pieces of malware hiding on the system.

@RotatoGonzales  Can I ask what the java application you are running?   It is taking up a lot of memory.

 

Unfortunately, the screenshot is showing only 43% usage and that amount can be counted for with the high memory usage of Opera and Java applications.  When the memory spikes back to 70+% usage, then check the process monitor to see what processes are eating up the memory.
