So i am using a lot of ram. 
 
75% of 16Gb is being used and it keep climbing untill my pc will lock up and restart. 
I have had a cursory look around and updated my killer network drivers and such but with no success.

 

 

 
Anybody have an idea of what is using so much of my ram??

 I have an Msi Gaming 3 z97 and it had killer ethernet.

yup. its not windows 10 fault, it's your killer Ethernet driver. 

 

  1. go to MSI gaming 3 support and download the latest Killer Network Driver (driver only) (DRIVER ONLY Version !! )
  2. go to device manager and uninstall you current drivers
  3. install the driver only version of your killer Ethernet manually.
  4. restart

Can you please upload a picture of the processes tab in windows task manager?

 

Pc crashed before i was able to grab a screen shot of the task manager. Back at 15% memory usage atm, but it will slowly creep back up to 100%. i will post a screen of task manager when it is up at 75 - 80 %.
