So I just built a new PC, ran all the nice little tests: prime95. furmark(1080p,4x MSAA, got above 60 fps), but there seems to be something wrong with the memory part.
I fired up Dragon Age Origins, and it started lagging after a while. I checked my usage, CPU was barely hitting 50%, temperatures well below 50C the GPU the same, temps below 60C, but then I opened up the task manager and saw that my memory was maxed out. 98% usage.
I ran Resmon, checked to see what is using so much, nothing. DAO was using 500mb, steam another 80, and the rest even lower. I closed everything, got back 1GB of memory. With absolutely everything non-essential closed, the PC was still using 7 GB.
So I guess I need a little help in solving this. Did anyone encounter this problem before? Oh and I also had a little problem with the hard drive usage, that capped out a few times as well, but then that problem went away. So I don't know. Is this a Windows 8 bug, or something?
My rig:
Intel I5-4690k, 212 EVO cooler
Asus GTX 970 Strix
Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 5 mobo
2x4 G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 MHz memory
WD Black HDD 1GB
Fractal Design R4 case, 2 intake fans, one exhaust(if that's somehow relevant).
