Ram memory always high

[Snusbex]

Hello i need some help, my ram memory spikes up to 90% when i start my pc, any tips? I have tried changing the memory for something a little better.
It has been like this the last week or so...

It's just called RAM. You're saying random access memory memory. 

 

Don't worry that it's high. As long as it's not hitting 100% then you're fine.

check your startup programs then

if you want reduce it

Well it it hits 100% as soon as i try to play some games

How much ram you have? If your daily usage pins the RAM usage at 85% or so, I would consider an upgrade. With that said, RAM won't be broken even if it was pinned 100% all the time, some apps just need to be closed etc.

it sits at the lowest of maybe 83% at idle with only the drivers running

8gb hyperx 1600mHz

Your computer shouldn't use that much RAM at idle.

It sounds like you have some programs running in the background which eats up a lot of memory.

 

Open task manager and then in the process tab sort by memory. If you want you can post a screenshot of it here.

He did not. As you can see in the screenshots of his task manager, there's applications that say "Application name (32 bit)" - Windows doesn't ever show that if you're running 32bit applications on 32 bit variants.
