ram problems

[thauolar]

so i have 8 gb of gskill ripjaw x ram and i have the problem that my ram slowly fils up until about 7,5 of the 8 gb is in use and it only goes down if i reboot my pc.
 

I need to know if it is a software issue (reinstall my pc) or if it is hardware related (replace ram/motherboard)

 

Here are all my specs:

 

Os:Windows 7 enterprice 64 bit
Cpu:intel core i5 4690k

Ram:8 gb dual channel 799mz gskill ripjaw x

motherboard: gigabyte z97-hd3

Videocard: assus gtx 770

 

Thanks for the help

Sounds like a background program has a memory leak. Check which program is using the most memory when it's filled up. (In W8.1 it's in the task manager. Idk in W7)

Definitely software issue, can't u use Resource Monitor or Task Manager to find the culprit?
