Hello there.

I turn on my pc and a couple minutes after I have like 75% of my ram used just browsing net or playing some games. Why this happening? Hidden windows updates?

open up task manager and see if there is something running in the backround. that sounds weird. go to process and click on the memory tab. It will sort all processes running, and in order of the total amount of ram used. Then you can see whats hogging the system. You shouldn't really have anything running over 100mb of mem, otherwise if you see something with really high usage above 100mb (as this would be standard for a high demand app running in the back-round). You can click to disable said process, and see if that gets rid of the massive ram use.

Then as others said, run a malware/antivirus scan and make sure you've not downloaded something nefarious.

Go to:

http://www.killernetworking.com/driver-downloads/category/other-downloads

Get the INF only driver package.

If you do not know how to install device drivers via device manager, watch some youtube videos until you feel comfortable doing so.

Uninstall the ENTIRE killer network suite.
Reboot.
If the driver only isn't found on reboot, go down into the INF package and use device manager to install the appropriate driver for your Windows OS
version. Eth would be your Ethernet driver, the wireless drivers are in the other directories if you have wireless internet for the computer.
