What is your ram usage after a restart?

I see you have quite a bit of memory in the non-paged pool, usually this should not go ever a few hundred mb or so. Ive seen this before and usually it is a driver leaking memory.

yep, sounds like a driver leaking memory to me. Just go to the manufacturers website and download whatever the latest drivers are for your motherboard. Should be under the support section. I would start with the network driver.
