I just bought a brand new laptop; and MSI GS70 with an i7, 16GB RAM, 120GB SSD Boot drive et al.. I'm pretty happy with it; however I've recently noticed that shortly after boot as much as 12 or more GB of RAM is in use. This started shortly after I began installing programs and configuring it for use. It uses Windows 8.1. I have viewed the Task Manager looking for a likely culprit consuming the memory but nothing stands out; in fact just looking at what is being used doesn't look like it would sum up to be that much memory use. The applications I've but on the system have included Steam and Origin and neither launches on Windows Start. Norton is installed and warned me that one of the default programs, steelseries.exe was a Memory hog; shutting it down seemed at the time to help with the problem. Has anyone else had this kind of issue? Recommendations on troubleshooting?
