I just finished building my computer about a week ago, and everything seemed as though it were running smoothly. I downloaded chrome and games from steam. My memory usage didn't really exceed 25%.
Then I noticed that as I was using my computer, the RAM usage slowly started to climb up to 50%. Then I decided to download GTA V from steam overnight. When I woke up to check on it, it said that the download was stopped, and everything was running extremely slowly. I looked into the task manager and it showed me that I was using 99% of my memory, but when I checked the programs that were open in the task manager, nothing added up to using that much memory. I'm using Windows 8.1 and I have 16 GB of memory.
Please help.
