This problem only started to occur yesterday and I can't seem to find what is causing it. From when I start up my PC, it takes about 20 minutes until it reaches nearly 100% memory usage. I have 2 x 8 GB of RAM and when I look at the processes in task manager, there is nothing out of the ordinary and the numbers simply don't add up. At first I thought it was just windows miscalculating and showing that the usage was 100% when it wasn't but then I realised that when it hits 100%, my computer starts to run a lot slower, programs take longer to open and in some cases, my mouse will stutter around.

I've looked up solutions but none seem to have worked so far so i would really appreciate some help with this!

Ye, its pretty much all in the non-paged pool. I updated my graphics card drivers a couple of days ago so I'll go and revert that back to the previous version and see if it makes any difference.
