Hallo my RAM is now at 98% and is still going up...

this has been occurring couple of days now i have 32GB of RAM and im onley running Chrome and Win10 of what i know. in task Manager is chows that my, System and compressed memory uses: 343.5MB RAM
Chrome uses: 110MB RAM, but my over all RAM usage is on 98%

System and compressed memory & Chrome is the two Programs that are drawing most RAM


what could be the problem and WTF is going on?.
 
Open task manager, click on memory coloumn so that it sorts by highest amount of usage at the top and tell us what it shows or just post an image of it.
 
Open task manager again, this time click on performance tab, click on memory on the left. Post an image.
 
Sounds like something has a horrible memory leak.

You should be able to see more info in the Resource Monitor tab.
 
Looks like something isn't actually releasing the ram. How long has this been going on? Any new software installed recently? Scan for malware?
 
it have been like this for 5 days, i have had windows for more then 3 months, i have scaned my computer for viruses with windows own defender and found nothing, new software could be enny thing i have new Nvidia Drivers, i have reinstalled Steam/update, i have Pc mark installed recently.
 
When was the last time you restarted? Have you recently restarted and seen the memory usage drop, only to see it climb back up again?

Here, run the following and post the logs.

Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your Desktop.



•Please close all open programs and internet browsers.
•Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
•Click on Scan.
•After the scan you will need to click on clean for it to delete the adware.
•Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.
•Please post the content of that logfile in your reply.
•You can find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[Sn].txt as well - n is the order number.

2.

Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

•Shutdown your antivirus to avoid any conflicts.
•Very important that you run the tool in this manner:
Right-mouse click JRT.exe and select Run as administrator
Do NOT just double-click it.
•The tool will open and start scanning your system.
•Please be patient as this can take a while to complete.
•On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
•Post the contents of JRT.txt in your next message.

3.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Please keep updating until it says you have the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • A log will be saved automatically which you can access by clicking on the Logs tab within Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

If for some reason Malwarebytes will not install or run please download and run Rkill.scr, Rkill.exe, or Rkill.com. If you are still having issues running rkill then try downloading these renamed versions of the same program.

EXPLORER.EXE
IEXPLORE.EXE
USERINIT.EXE
WINLOGON.EXE

But DO NOT reboot the system and then try installing or running Malwarebytes. If Rkill (which is a black box) appears and then disappears right away or you get a message saying rkill is infected, keep trying to run rkill until it over powers the infection and temporarily kills it. Once a log appears on the screen, you can try running malwarebytes or downloading other programs.

Please post the log that Malwarebytes displays on your screen.

Please continue running the programs as there may be more malware not detected yet. Each programs scans differently. I'll be gone for part of the day so i'll respond when i can.
