Task manager, show processes from all users, sort by RAM. If you see a program / couple of programs filling up the RAM, mystery solved.

If not, I'd suggest using RAMMap and checking its memory allocation breakdown to decide what to do next.

You likely have a memory leak, if you have windows 10 I'd bet the system is using the memory or the updater otherwise it's likely a virus, I'd do what SpaceGhostC2C said if it's not showing up in the resource monitor just to make sure
