So when you exit chrome does usage falls down after 10 sec?

nope, it stays the same, and all the chrome processes stay running. also when i shutdown pc, the next time i turn it on and go to chrome, it says "restore previous pages" acting like it didnt close properly

Can you try to recreate scenario when it stays open even after exit?

This seems quite fine. If you can show us a screen shot with the 80% that would help. If it spikes to 80% then that could be fine but this should only happern for a few seconds.

I have had similar issues on a 16GB system while using Google Chrome. I found the issue was after using chrome for sometime even after killing all chrome processes my RAM would hit 14GB of ram usage while idling on the desktop. I dont know what causes the issue but after switching to Firefox I found the issue stopped so I can suggest trying another web browser and see if it still happens. (I suggest Firefox or Opera because I dont have the issue with either of those and well IE is IE)

 

 

EDIT: I would also like to state that while running chrome along side games (Payday 2 in paticular) my GPU clock would lock and the driver would crash quite a lot. This was on a Nvidia system so if anyone is suffering those issues tryrunning a different browser as well. I received that advice from EVGA themselves so it does not seem I am the only one to encounter that.

for whatever reasons its behaving, probably cause it hates me, but it stays at 80% and doesnt change untill i kill chrome processes
