Something unknown is using 3gb of RAM

[nikoloy]

For the past few days now, I have notice in the task manager that my RAM usage is at 60% constantly. It has never gone that far before, not that i know of. I have 8gb RAM so that is around 4.5gb used. With just simple web browsing, it should just stay at 1-2gb used. I have added up the all the RAM used in the task manager and it only adds up to 1.5 gb. What is using the other 3gb? I don't use ramdisk. The only thing that is different from 2 weeks ago and now is I got a new 480gb SSD, cloned my HDD to it and booted from the SSD now on. I don't think that is related though. Help me on this please. Beacause when I'm gaming it goes up to 90%.

I'm unsure if you've already done this, but when in Task Manager try checking for any specific background processes that may be taking up an unusual amount of RAM. If you believe it may be important and don't want to close it (understandable), try looking up why it's using so much. Hope this helps.
