90% Memory Usage on Idle - 16GB RAM

Screenshot of Task Manager and Resource Monitor

I'd like to know what's taking up my memory. I've got 16GB DDR3 RAM, but my system is always above 90% memory usage. Launching games or Adobe Programs makes it hit 100%, and they freeze up or get very laggy.

Resource Monitor says I have 16384MB of installed memory, but when I added up the usage of all of the processes, it came out to just over 600MB. I must have processes running that don't show up in either program. How can I find and kill these processes?

Restarting the computer brings it down to about 7% usage on idle for 10-15 minutes. After that it crawls back up to 90+%

Running Windows 10. Let me know if you'd like any more information. Help would be GREATLY appreciated.

[edit] Ran a full Malwarebytes scan which didn't detect anything (scanned memory, startup files, registry, and file system).

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
