So for the past week my RAM usage seem to have increased dramaticly, it now says it is up to 90% ram usage... :/
I dont know the cause but it may have happened when i drove to a LAN or drove home from a LAN party the past week. Although nothing unusual happend to it that could be a possible cause.
I can't play any games especially not bf4 because when i do my RAM goes up to ~97% usage.
Do you guys think that i should contact the store that sold it to me and let them test my computer for any faulty hardware and go through my computer My Ram is btw G.Skill Ripjaw 8gb, any help is appreciated! :)
Windows 8, Asrock 970 extreme4, gigabyte 7870, Amd Fx-8320, Corsair CX 750m

I posted the same question here, but accidentally clicked on "pick as solution" so here is the post:

I have tested these things:
Change memory lanes from blue to white, switching memory places with eachother, switching my ram with my brothers same ram. Checked if there is any unwanted software taking up ram at start up and normally.
These have not worked.

I counted the amount of ram my computer should use in the activity manager, I counted it up to 700mb (~8%) and it says it uses 7600mb (97mb).

it says this in the ram section:
Using: 7.6 GB Available: 317 MB
Dedicated viritual memory: 9.2/15.3 GB CacheStored: 301 MB
paged Pool: 204 MB Not paged Pool: 6.4 GB

Thanks for any answer! :/
