So another problem has arisen much to my dismay. When I start up (normally it runs 24/7) the memory is at around 2gb which for me is normal. However recently it starts to creep up to 8gb which is my max and I have no idea why ? I haven't installed any programs lately. I am running Windows 7 64bit ultimate. Within 2 min of start up its almost at 8gb. I have looked at all of my processes and do not see anything abnormal. I have ran R-kill and a few other Anti-Virus programs ,defrag the normal stuff but just have not figured it out yet ? Anyone have any ideas ?

Under my Processes in Windows Task Manager I had found several Programs that should have been stopped but in fact were started and accessing the Internet right after boot up and also a few programs that were not compatible with my system but were trying to run anyways hidden. Deleted them all and everything is back to normal. Thx for all who looked and listened. Consider this closed !
