I have 4gb of adata xpg ram, Its been working fine until recently i've noticed huge lag spikes in games and general web browsing. I open task manager and see my computer is using 86% ram and 2% cpu. I know 4gb is enough because i dont do heavy gaming I usually play CSGO and Garrys mod. Please help me fix the issue if you can thanks!

Solution
you're probably using a LOT of background programs check in your taskmanager what are the programs that are using most ram (Antivirus may be the reason)
