I have a gaming PC with 16 GB of ram and after I do something that takes up a lot of ram like playing a game the ram usage will stay at high levels such as 8 or 12 GB even after I close the program. I have tried MemTestX86 and other mem test software created as a bootable disk and I have run multiple virus scans from many various virus removal programs such as Malwarebytes, SpyBot S&D 2, and AVG. None of those picked up anything. The only way I can get the Memory usage to go back down is if I close Google Chrome and re open it (I usually have Chrome open on one of my other monitors while I play games or use other programs so I can look up things pertaining to them or while I wait for something to happen.) I am not sure what could be going wrong and I have asked many computer shop people and they all say try to figure it out for yourself first so you don't end up spending lots of money if it turns out it is an easy fix.
Also when I start up the computer The ram stays at around 4-5 GB even though I don't have many startup programs open. I also need to know how to fix that because my friend said on his computer with similar specs to mine he is able to start up and have like 2-3 GB or less even when he has Google Chrome open with lots of tabs open.
