Everything was fine until my laptop randomly gave me a message saying I had no C-Drive space left (134 MB out of 74.5 GB). At this time my Physical Memory was 27% with few things open, maybe the Internet and Task Manager. After that I proceeded to clear some space such as Temp Folders and such, and lastly used Disk Cleanup to erase Windows.Old and Windows.Old.000, as many different websites said it was safe. Then the Physical memory started acting funny. With nothing but Task Manager open, it would be 55% or more. That didn't scare me too badly, until earlier today when the Physical Memory was 97% with nothing open and the CPU Usage was at 100%. As of right now, with one Window and Task manager open, it is 76%. Can anyone explain what is happening to my computer, and how to fix it?

Try to see on the process manager which process is eating all the memory, that usually happens me with firefox.

Whenever I open up the Resource Manager to see what is taking up all of my data, it never adds up past 30% out of 2 GB.
