Hello.

Everyday for the past couple of weeks, my memory usage idle has been increasing. It started off at about 22% with all my usual things open - Steam, Skype, etc. However, now it's going around 30%. With Chrome open at the moment I'm getting 36%. It is affecting my games, taking off about 7-8 frames. What can I do? There are no unusual applications open that I can see and I have also scanned for malware. Any suggestions?
