Problem with physical memeory usage going from 1.8GB to 7GB after idle
I have started having a problem with the physical memory usage going from around 1.8GB to around 7GB after the PC sits idle for an hour or so.CPU usage is around 12% which is kind of high for my system with nothing going on, usually around 2-3% or lower. Seems to go up gradually till maxes out around 7GB, I have 9GB installed. The only way I can get it to go back to normal is to reboot and all is fine why using the PC but as soon as it goes to sleep the memory usage goes to hell. I found this out the other day when I went to play online and PC froze during play and had to exit the session. Have not really installed anything new other than Corsair VOID wireless headset but this issue did not start immediately after that but week or so. Last thing I did was try running windows update which would not run, was getting service can not run error message. Thinking might be related to this but I have tried disabling windows update in services and no change. When looking in resource monitor does not look like anything running is using abnormal amount of memory. Any ideas? I'm at a loss at this point. I have searched many forums and threads, tried a few suggestions and no change. Thanks in advance.
