I have a memory leak

[Do I Need Help]

Hello. I have had this issue for a while now (several months, at least) and it can really mess things up if the memory starts starving of free space when I am for example gaming. The problem is that I do not have any idea of what is leaking, or how to fix the issue if I find it.
The only way for me to free the space is to restart my computer. If I log out and back in, I will still have about the same amount of RAM occupied as previously.

Screenshots of the occurance:

Please give an example game that you play and let us know how much RAM you have in total and how much is being used.

I had the purpose of showing a screenshot of this occuring, but I do not know how to implement one into my posts...

I suppose I could answer those questions anyways, though. I usually play League of Legends and my maximum amount of RAM is 8 GB. I keep going further up on the RAM usage (over several hours) until I have to restart my computer to remove it. In my screenshot I have shut down every application I know it's safe to shut down and still have a RAM usage of over 5 GB.

Update: I now found a way for screenshots.

Is it that none has seen this or that people don't know what might solve it that makes this thread quiet?

Updated all drivers? Motherboard as wel as the gpu and what more
Looked in device manager for ? or ! .. ?
Also checked for malware/virusses? Use Malwarebytes Antimalware + good antivirus tool.

I regularly check my drivers for updates via IObit's latest Pro version of Driver Booster, and just tried changing my GPU driver to the latest AMD beta driver, with no improvements. I therefor assume that drivers isn't an issue.

For anti-viruses, I use Kaspersky Lab and Malwarebytes. I tried doing a full scan of my system with Malwarebytes recently, but nothing was found.

I will check out the device manager tip though, and come back to you later with the results.

I would just get my drivers from the manufacturers website.For all devices,motherboard,gpu,,but also keyboard and mouse if they come with their own.

Memory remapping is enabled in the bios?

Does it also happen in safe mode?

I'm assuming that you mean that I should have memory remapping enabled? Not the other way around?

Yes.

Yes.

I was not able to find Memory Remapping on my B85M-G43 motherboard BIOS.
Though, I have understood that Memory Remapping is made for gaining access to all your RAM and your computer not only finding 5 when you have 8 GB, for example. Are there other reasons for activating Memory Remapping? Because that is obviously not the issue I'm having. My issue is that the memory quickly automaticly gets more and more occupied until I'm forced to restart my computer to get back the occupied RAM for my own consumption.

I'll be updating with if this occurs in Safe Mode soon, by the way.

I'd like to hear what that gives if the problem is still there.

In device manager no ? or ! ? you said you would look,but heaven't seen a definitive answer.

When I tried booting the computer in Safe Mode, memory usage rose from about 663 MB to 667 over about 3 hours, which obviously seems to thell that Windows is not the issue. I have not seen any "!"s or "?"s in Device Manager. I will provide you with screenshots of it, though, just in case I missed something.

It seems to be third party software then.Don't know which windows you use so go to the start up folder and disable all programs that are not windows,after that restart one by one and see if one makes the ram usage go up.
The razer software for instance could be such a program.
