While browsing the internet, I suddenly felt a huge drop in performance. As in, super laggy performance, coming from the PC I built no less than a month ago. I opened up task manager to see what was happening, and apparently I'm hitting 95% memory usage on the computer, even though I only had 3 tabs of Firefox and Skype open. I listed all the processes and sorted them by memory usage, and Firefox took the most, at 78.8 MB.
I don't understand what's using 95% of my RAM. I hear that sometimes Windows 8 does that, but I already set the BOOT maximum to 4096MB.
My setup:
Intel i5-4670k
MSI Z87-G45
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600 MHz CAS11
Powercolor 7870 MYST
Corsair CX750M
