My desktop has been constantly at 100% ram usage while doing anything. Even just sitting at the desktop. I checked my drive usage as well and it says that my C: drive (Which is an NVME) is at 100%. 

These are my specs:

i7-6700k (OC to 4.6)

Founder's 1080

8gb ram @ 2400mhz

gigabyte mobo

256GB NVME

1 TB WD blue

1TB WD black

Try some disk cleanups on disc C and H and Disk Defrags, Check for viruses and also try a restarting your PC.

Try scanning for viruses, even if it doesn’t, save what you can and factory reset. This is very sketchy and haven’t seen anything like this, not a coincidence that everything is maxed out.

I hAve an unfinished pc build. Pls dont bully for not having one yet or i cry.

Usually there's a task list in task manager that orders by usage. What's taking up your ram according to that?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Edit: I couldn't navigate my computer for a bit, it froze completely. I had to restart

Ive had this issue with a PC before - bad malware, stuff in the root, I ended up having to wipe both hard drives on the system, and quit watching that obscure pr0n ;)

'System' is - well your system. It's a Windows process and since you killed it your PC stopped working for a bit and you had to restart.

 

Like @Tristerin and @lookpuppy said, I'd salvage what I can and wipe all drives.

75% of what I say is sarcastic

 

So is the rest probably
