Yesterday i got a BSOD saying: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

This happened after a day ago my PC was ranodmly using 10 gigs of ram while not doing anything. Now, when i let my PC run on idle, it uses 6+ GB of ram, even after restarting. This is a screenshot of my processes (while idle and using 6,5GB): https://gyazo.com/7c0c745265060658e996cb34feec9400

This all together doesnt count up to 6,5 GB for some reason.

This is a .GIF of the processes: https://gyazo.com/c30bde690264242584cb442507a4820c

Screenshot of some information of my RAM https://gyazo.com/edabb581b49646c5028cd05b258d45e5


My specs are:

Nvidia GTX 1070 Gaming X
MSI z170-a Gaming M5
I7-6700k
Corsair Vegeance 2x8 GB DDR4-3200 Ram
Corsair RM750x PSU

Nothing is overclocked yet, also not running the XPM profile.

I dont mean that my ram is only usable to some point, but its like using alot when idling. I got 16 gigs of ram and it can use all the 16 gigs if neccesary, but i think its weird that it already uses 6,5 when not playing any games whatsoever

I googled around a bit and found out turning ''Superfetch'' Off might solve it, so i tried that, and now i only use 2,5gb when idle. Im not sure what superfetch does though and if its bad to leave it off.
