Why is my RAM usage always >=80% constantly?

[typicalsweg]

Hello everyone, I have been having some trouble with my memory lately. Every time I start my pc my ram usage is always 78-83%. Btw, my ram is 8GB. I open up task manager sometimes and delete some processes but that usually never works. Discord is the heavy weight, but when I 'end task' it it might go down by 2%. I really dont know what to do right now. I have a 1TB hdd and an intel i5-3570k. The cpu is usually at 5-10%.

Hi,

This might be a memory leak from a program you have installed on your system, try and update all outdated software or it could possibly be caused by some malware / virus. I recommend that you also scan your system for any malware or viruses!

Please provide a tasklist file.

To generate a tasklist text file, you MUST open Command Prompt as administrator (search up command prompt or cmd in start menu and right click it and select 'Run As Administrator'.)

Then input the following command:

tasklist > c:\processes_list.txt

NOTE: The above command saves a file called processes_list.txt to the C drive ( C: )
If you want to save the file with a different name to a different location, enter the full path of the desired location and enter a different file name.

Please attach it after.

Hope this helps.
