At present, my laptop is running Windows 8 with 4GB RAM on it. I looked on my Task Manager and it shows 50MB is already used but yet, it also says, 85 to 93% is also used up. I'm not quite sure which is which and it makes me so confused. Also, recently, when I start my laptop, the RAM is normally around 27% is used with some processes. But this time, it's 90% without the processes. Is this an issue with my RAM? What is taking too much memory?
