    What's strange is, is that there's no indication of any program using so much memory.

    Is it possible it has something to do with Samsung RAPID mode?

    Help appreciated. Thanks.

    EDIT: Found this bit of info - "RAPID mode consumes at most 25% of the installed DRAM, up to a maximum of 1GB."

    I found out that somehow my BIOS had reset oO XMP was disabled, so I've enabled that. However, the problem still persists -

    Speed was 2400 MHz, is now 3600 MHz.

    I'm disabling RAPID mode now, I'll update when rebooted.

    EDIT: RAPID wasn't the issue. It must be something else.

    use elevated process explorer.

    rapid mode should only be used on battery backed systems.

    Alright, I think RamMap has revealed the answer.

    I'm re-hashing some torrent files on qBittorrent. I didn't know it would use all the memory for that, I just assumed it would use disk only. Oh well, learned something.

    Thanks for the help guys.

    I probably should.

    @Astyanax Could you remove the quoted image from your post, thanks.

    I guess the "error" was the load during re-hashing ...
    I literally had the image in front of my eyes, but now it's gone .... anyway ... nice weather today, isn't it? :D
