Last night i was trying to play H1Z1 kotk. Over the past week or so, I could never load into a game after accepting the match. I went to investigate, and brought up corsair link and task manager to view ram and cpu loads. Idle, at desktop, the memory was at 80% capacity. Wondering why it was so high, i used task manager to see what was hogging all of the memory. To my surprise, out of the 20 or 30 processes using memory, they only totaled about 400 mb, which is far below the 8gb capacity of my two sticks. I used windows ram tester, and it found no issues. Is something wrong with the ram that the test isnt picking up?

EDIT: I also noticed my hard drive was at 100% use too. Its a 7200 rpm seagate barracuda. Is that normal when in a game?

Specs:
i5 4690k
GTX 970
2x4gb ram (think it is gskill ripjaw)
Gigabyte Z97



Later today i can confirm the ram and mobo type and post screenshots if needed.
