RAM leak??? Please help

[Kazy]

I think I have a RAM leak or something because when I open up a game it uses all 16gb of RAM as soon as I start up the game! Please help!!!

Your non-paged pool is high, which usually means a driver is leaking. 

 

I'm going to guess you have a Killer NIC since that seems to be the common culprit. So if you update that, it usually goes away. If not, go around and update your drivers.

Given that that seems to be the initial loading screen of the game you can assume it is not the game itself. Also thr RAM usage seems to be high before you load the game (flat part) , what can you seen under the processes tab?

How do I update it, is it in the software or just in the windows check for updates

Now it is using 80-100% all the time

Generally download the latest driver from the manufacturers website, Windows 10 has a habit of installing the incorrect driver.

If you sort by memory usage, what are the highest consumers or are the hundreds of copies of a program, something which looks strange.
