As title says, my RAM has been acting really weird lately. So for the past few months I have been getting constant crashes. After a lot of researching and looking and the windows dump files, it seemed it had to be the RAM. I was running a triple channel with 3x2gb DDR3. So I took one out and ran it in dual channel and it fixed the crashing, but now I have a bigger problem.
At least two times a day my RAM usage and HDD usage just goes out of control. When it happens, my whole computer is basically unusable. Everything just freezes or crashes. So I took screenshots of my RAM usage and it just is not adding up. From what it is showing, its using 5.9/6gb but in the detailed section it is not adding up to 5.9gb So what is going on here? Where is this usage coming from and why is my HDD at 100% usage? Nothing is even running on my computer besides Steam and nothing is downloading on that.

Thank you for the help!
