So i fresh reboot about 45 minutes ago, and i haven't opened any games or anything that takes much memory. I have Steam open and I'm watching a video on Chrome, but somehow im using 94% memory????

Its been happening a few days now, it just builds up while I do nothing...

Specs:
Intel i7-6700k Quad Core 4.0Ghz
GTX 970 4gb
Dual Monitors
16gb RAM DDR4

Why is my memory being hogged?
 

May I see the memory status on System Monitor?
Could be a RAM problem (defective stick/slot, improper installation, etc).
I have experienced high RAM utilization because of defective stick. Most of memory usage fall to "hardware reserved".
