Massive memory usage at cold boot. Much less memory usage after sleep.

When I cold boot my pc, everything starts normally. No issues. However, I have noticed after its done booting, I have ~50% RAM being used. When I put the PC to sleep(or let it time out into sleep mode) and wake it back up, there is much less memory being used. Anywhere between 13%-20%.

I'm not exactly sure when this first started happening, though I have noticed it at least from the point from when I did a clean install of Windows 7. I have ran virus and malware scans with no threats. Any ideas or similar situations?

Specs include:
- i5-3550 CPU
- 8GB DDR3 RAM
-Gigabyte Z77-D3H MoBo
- 128GB Samsung SSD 840 Pro (system drive)
- 1TB WD Black HDD 7200RPM

Thanks for your input. I'll look into it, I'm pretty sure that isn't it.
