Why is my RAM like this?

Ok, I see what you are asking now. Your screenshot is from the Windows task manager which in the first, and perhaps most important place, is not always known to display 100% accurate information. Neither is the Windows resource manager. I'd highly suggest using a more accurate utility like HWinfo. Download, install and run "Sensors only". You'll have access to and be able to scroll through all of the available sensor and reporting data from the whole system.


*Download HWinfo


Also, as far as those totals adding up, I don't really see an issue. If those are application totals then unlike the number you see at the top those may not include hardware that is using some share of...

Can't tell anything from that limited screenshot. It's like giving you a picture of a football field, showing only the grass, and asking what team is this?

Please post your full system specs including the EXACT model numbers of all hardware, or at least as much as possible.

CPU, motherboard, power supply, memory, storage drives, operating system version and bit depth, graphics card, etc.

Please also post the full screenshot showing what is running and which applications are using each of those percentages of physical memory.

Including a list of all software and applications that you know for sure are running would be helpful too.

I guess I shouldve asked, "Why are the percentages not adding up?"

Also, as far as those totals adding up, I don't really see an issue. If those are application totals then unlike the number you see at the top those may not include hardware that is using some share of memory allocation, showing only what the various software processes are using. I could tell you with more certainty if I could see what those processes were. I assure you that nobody here cares a whit for whatever it is you are running and apparently don't want seen. So, whatever. We can't help you much if we can't see the necessary data.
