It states that Spotify and Skype is running in that picture, so what do you mean you don't have any programs running? Try shutting them off and see if it clears up some RAM.

Avast is also using a lot of your RAM.

yea well it's only 170MB AND i should be able to have my anti virus program running when i have 8GB of installed ram in my computer shouldn't i ?

 

 

yes but it says they are using 100mb and 94mb  of ram and those are the highest consumers of RAM in the computer, so that shouldn't make 7.6GB used

 

Try turning them all off to see if the problem at least goes away. We have to start ruling things out etc.

Do a memtest and post results. Then try running with one stick in only.
