So I am currently running a i7-6700K with 16GB (2x8GB) of G. Skills Ripjaw V DDR4 2400MHz RAM. I am having the issue where my RAM is not clearing. It just keeps piling up as I use the computer throughout the day. When I turn off the computer for the night, the amount in use that I end with is the amount in use immediately on start up in the morning.
I have tried turning off the computer and removing the power cable and letting it sit, which didn't work. I also tried taking out the RAM and inserting it back into the same DIMMs after 5 minutes, which it didn't work either. They all gave me the same 10.4GB out of 16GB in use right on start up.
The only thing that seemed to clear it was doing a reset though Windows 10's settings while keeping my personal files. However, the issue came back, and I can't just keep doing clean resets of my computer.
This computer has only been built and running for 3 days and I haven't torrented anything or been on any sketchy websites on this computer whatsoever, so its hard to believe that there is malware on this computer.
Please help! I just want to have a computer that functions for the most part flawlessly!
