Hello,

I'm not an engineer, far from it. Lately I've been noticing a lot of lag spikes, which I've never experienced before on this pc. I checked if my memory was being used, and oh yes, it was.

I currently have "NOTHING" open, and I'm using in the 7-7.9 gb ram range. The weird thing is that I'm only using 400mb myself, and the rest 7gb is being used by something and I don't know what it is...

---Dunno if this does anything--
My OS is installed on a SSD Hard Disc (C: ) together with the most important programs and rest of my programs are installed my Hard Disc (E: )----

If you guys could help me it would be great!

Your second pic is vastly different than your first pic.

What does it look like right after a reboot, before you open anything?
