Hi, so I've been playing on a PC for a long while now and I have never had any issues in the past but as of a couple of months ago I seem to be getting high memory usage and sometimes even disk. I've tried most solutions online and nothing seem to be working, I've tried taking my RAM out and putting it in a different slot etc.. but nothing seems to be working, I also currently have 8GB ram and I'm not sure whether I need to upgrade to 16 or not but I've never had trouble in the past, I'd appreciate any sort of help, thanks.

GPU: r9 390x
CPU: i5 4690k
RAM: HyperX Fury (8gb)

*Update*
I've scanned my PC and I have no sorts of viruses to my knowledge.
Things such as google chrome and games tend to take the most memory when I'm on chrome it
usually goes it "60%" and when I'm on games it will shoot to 99%

Maybe this will help, everything just seems to be awfully high and I just have no idea as to why.

Memory leaks are code bugs. The ONLY way to fix a memory leak is to change the code. That means you have to see if there is updated software released by somebody. YOU didn't write the code, or have access to the source code, so YOU can't fix it. All you can do is try to determine what might be leaking and see if the vendor of the code you are having problems with has released an update.

Even if you do have a memory leak, there isn't much you can do about it. Memory leaks require the source code of an application to fix them. All you could do is see if there are other reports of memory leaks from the same application and if the vendor has released an update.
