So, i got my ram, and motherboard back from rma's and everythings going decent till i started having brain farts here : / ..well, i noticed my mem was being used a lot. and wondered why that might be when im not really doing anything. i did start backing up my files but was happening before hand.

Also like Marcus said, it might just be how many apps running in the background, if so go to settings -> privacy -> background apps. and then disable some of the ones you don't use. Hope this helps! :)
