  • Why does the RAM used not agree with what the Task manager shows?

    When my computer sits idle for a day or two without rebooting, the Task Manager shows as much as 485Mg of RAM used when no programs are currently running other than the background processes. My computer eventually freezes and needs to be rebooted. This affects both my laptop and desktop. My desktop show 158 Mg of RAM used after a reboot, if I let is sit all day, by the end of the day it's like 380 Mg used with no programs running or having been run. Again, the laptop shows the same behaviour. Help?
