Massive memory leak on start-up - 95% usage on idle

[kurama.bingyi09]

I'm desperate for some help.

I've been noticing my memory usage gradually getting higher and higher these past two weeks. I've updated all of the drivers I thought I'd needed to (Killer Network e2200 Network Adapter was one of them). Nothing so far has actually fixed the issue.

My System Specs
Intel i7-4790k
Corsair H115i Pro
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB DDR3 2400Hz
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard
MSI Gaming X GeForce GTX 1070 8G
Samsung EVO 960 M.2 SSD 500GB
Samsung EVO 850 SSD 250GB
Intel 535 Series SSD 250GB
2x WD Caviar Blue HDD 7200RPM 1TB

I've tried other solutions to similar situations in the past and it does not seem to have done anything. I'm currently in the process of doing a full Windows update to see if that changes as I suspect the previous Windows update was responsible.

Running RamMap came back with this.

If anyone is able to help me troubleshoot the issue, I'd greatly appreciate it.

where did you get the killer drivers from? Cause you know, as soon as I saw MSI motherboard I guessed it had Killer internet on it. But since you already tried that, it made me sad. Did you get them from - https://www.killernetworking.com/driver-downloads/category/other-downloads

a huge non paged pool can mean its a driver leak - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2186507/solved-physical-memory-huge-paged-pool.html

there is another way

Download Process explorer and run it as admin (it comes from Microsoft so its safe)

the default view is tree structure meaning like your task manager screen, it will show what processes are under each service, but unlike task manager, it shows the ram usage of each part so you can see what is eating your ram

Private bytes = actual ram usage
Working set = Ram + page file usage

This page shows what all the colours and headings mean, link at bottom of it shows how to use it to find problems. You can right click headers and run an av scan from within the program.

Use process explorer and see if you can track whats eating ram.
