While Idle my pc uses WAY too much ram for what it should(from 30-50+%) and when im just doing light things such as browsing the web its using almost 80.

on my task manager, there's a good amount of things open, but everything is mostly below 10mb.
I've run a memory optimizer , and accelerators on my pc but it doesn't seem to do anything.

what should i do?


I have 1 stick of 8gb Corsair vengeance if that helps
 
If you're using Windows 7 or above, Windows pretty-much tries to find ways to load things into memory and keep them there for fast access. (Vista may have done this as well) This is a good thing

Use Windows' Resource Monitor to identify how your memory is being used. In Resource Monitor, there is a tab for Memory.
Here is link on how to acess it: http://www.7tutorials.com/how-use-resource-monitor-windows-7
