I am having issues with my RAM. Occasionally right after start-up the resource monitor says there is more than 5GB RAM is use. Other times the RAM usage slowly increases over time, to the point where if my computer is on for ~4 Hours or if I leave it on running a scan over night there will be more than 7 GB RAM in use and the OS will freeze up until I restart the computer. This all leads me to believe there is a memory leak-- and I could use tips on how to fix this as well -- but I don't know how to explain so much RAM in use right when the computer starts up.
