So I've seen many threads like these. Most of the people are complaining about how 30% of their ram is being used etc. Mine I find is slightly different. On a PC where I used to run Skyrim with 4gb ram mod for me to be using so much ram is strange. Run skyrim with 4gb ram mod never took up more than 60% of my ram(including anything else in the background). Recently I've noticed a spike in ram usage. At first it started at around 40% while playing 1gb ram games and having maybe a youtube video running in the background. Now it has spiked. As I type this, task manager states that I'm using 92% of my ram. I might accept that but even when im not using Chrome my memory usage is really high all of a sudden(80+%). I've never had Norton tell me about high memory usage on this PC. Norton's virus scan revealed no viruses although I don't trust their scan all that much. Should an 8GB kit of ram really be having this much memory usage with just one open tab of chrome? Do I have a virus or is this a case of corrupt ram?
I've come on this site many times(although this is my first question) and I hope like the previous times I can get insight again
