I just powered on my PC and noticed that my memory usage is already at 60%. I've tried disabling most startup applications and only a few key apps like Steam, Spotify, and Discord are set to start. When I run Google Chrome along with a game, my memory usage spikes to 99% and the system freezes frequently. My setup is pretty powerful, featuring a 4070 Ti Super, 32GB of RAM, and a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, so it should manage some basic tasks without issues. I've also run virus scans, but found nothing. Can anyone provide insight or potential fixes for this problem? Thanks in advance!

If your memory usage is spiking like that, it might not just be a memory leak. Make sure all your drivers are updated as well. Sometimes outdated drivers can cause weird memory usage issues. After that, if you're still experiencing problems, you might want to consider reinstalling some of the software that's using a lot of memory.
It sounds like you might have a memory leak. I suggest using a tool like RAMMap, which is a Microsoft utility that helps identify which processes are consuming the most RAM on your system. That should give you a clearer picture of what's going on.
If you want to troubleshoot malware, it's important to check for any unwanted programs you might have downloaded accidentally. Getting rid of unused applications could also free up some resources. It's a good first step to see if that alleviates the problem.
