Hey guys, this is my third time attempting to post this thread. Just some background: I've a complete gamer and tech guy. Usually my tech is kept in perfect condition and this is the first real problem I've had. Anyways I'll get right to the point. My Dell Inspiron 3721 is becoming unusably slow. I've looked into it and I believe the cause is the amount of RAM that is being used. This only started happening recently, but really large amounts of RAM are being used my computer. I mean like, when I just booted this laptop up it was already using 45%. After that it builds up to 95% and then I have to restart my laptop to get it usable again. I really don't know what is causing it, I've looked into a couple of things.
Some of the things I've done but haven't helped much.
* I've used multiple anti-malicious programs to do a lot of deep scans. Nothing came up.
* I've turned off windows indexing to make sure that wasn't it. It hasn't helped.
* I've checked to make sure all my programs are up to date, and aren't the problems of the ram being used.
* I've checked to make sure my PC settings are set to maximum performance.
* I've cleaned out unneeded files, and used Disk Cleanup a lot.
Here are my specs:
* Intel Integrated 4000 HD
* 6gb DDR3 (5.88 Usable)
* 680 gb HDD (224 gb free)
* Intel i5-337U 1.80 ghz
* Windows 7 Home Premium
* 64-bit
I honestly don't know what else to do. This has never happened to me before and I've spent a lot of time trying to fix it but noting prevailed.
EDIT: Here are a view pictures showing my specs or my problem:
