Hello there!

My computer started to lag heavily and i dont know why.. When i opened task manager it says its using 7.6GB out of 8GB ram while im not doing anything .. Not even playing anything or something like that and it uses alot? Might that be the problem? If so how to fix it?

What do you mean with turning it off and back on pc or putting ram out and back in? Kind of nothing is using 7.5 gb..

Sometimes programs are not written properly and do not clean up after their reservation of memory, so they will use more and more memory over time. This is called a memory leak, and restarting your computer will clear out all the junk from ram because it is volatile storage.

My second suggestion was to sort by memory usage in task manager to see what is actually using it.
