All my ram is getting used up and I dont even have anything open | HELP

[WaterFoxStudios]

Hey,
I have been running into this issue lately where I will open up task manager and find that all my 64gb of ram is being used, only to when I check the processes I cannot see anything that is taking anywhere neat that ammount of ram. I will attach screenshots
Can you all help?

Is there a better way to look and see what my ram is allocated to, not just programs?
Let me know if you want more pics

Thanks!

What SSD do you have? If it's DRAM-less, your system may be using regular RAM as a read/write cache.

 

"Free" RAM is wasted RAM. As long as Windows is purging unnecessary or low-priority things (like disk cache) as applications need the RAM, don't worry about it.

This. If you look at the Memory info down below the graph, your Non-Paged Pool is 23gb and Paged is 210gb... whens the last time you rebooted your computer?

 

For reference, this is what mine looks like right now

Usually I will reboot it once every couple days. And thanks for the download link to process explorer. After Rebooting it seems to even out a little, It could be a problem with windows when put in force sleep mode. Thanks for the help guys I will update if I can find out exactly what could be causing it.
