The title says it all but i can remove this problem by just a simple restart but the problem will come back after 3 days or so. could not find a answer on google. also im pretty tech savy so not figuring this on my own kinda irritating

My PC specs:

OS: Windows 7
Motherboard: ASUS ramapage 4 exteme
CPU: intel i7-3930K
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SC
RAM: 16G of g.skill 19200 ram quad channel
PSU: 1000W
Harddrive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM
Harddrive#2: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM
Cooler: Cooler Master TPC 812
 
It's a common issue known as "memory leak" whereby some apps don't relinquish the RAM they were using when you close that app.

Restart is the only fix I know of, or avoid apps which are known to be the worst offenders.

Try clearing your cache and then allocating more space to see if it changes anything. Reinstall your flash and java as they may be causing problems.
