Nearly 20GB of RAM being used at startup!

[ZombiMigz]

Today I noticed, when I startup my computer, it takes up 20GB or RAM! Out of my 32GB. I have a duall channel 4 slot ram with 4 8GB sticks. I don't know what is taking up the ram as the top item in my task manager (service host something) is only taking up 200mb! Then there are 4 between 100-200mb and about 20 more 1-100 and then everything else is less than 1mb! What is taking up 19GB of ram!

You seem to have what is called a memory leak, caused by a faulty driver. Its a lot to type, so follow this guide to fix it:

That will tell you what's using the memory, however it's a bit confusing to use at first.

*Did you SHUT DOWN completely, or just hibernate/sleep?

The ONLY issue I had last year was the MS Search Indexer kept eating up memory.
