Hello,
When I first turn on my PC and everything has loaded, I took a screenshot:

As you can see my memory has only gone up to 35% used. That's only about 2.8 Gigabytes of my 8 gigs of RAM.
Then I open my games, CSGO and Minecraft mostly. During CSGO ill tab in and out to check the usage. Normally when the bomb explodes or other heavily big events, my game goes to black, but my cursor is still there. I reset my computer and have to wait for all the programs to load again. At this point, it has happened a couple of times and it gets annoying when it comes to competitive play.

So I decided to take a screen shot of when it starts to be really high usage:

Is there any reason why the System is gradually using more and more memory? I have thought of getting more RAM, but to get a good amount its quite expensive, while I save up for it, is there any fix to this?

If you need any more info on my PC just leave a reply for it.
Thank you!
