i suppose you've tried the obvious? Have a look in task manager see if anything odd is going on?

Iv tried the obvious and even tried reinstalling my graphics driver

 

[emGee]

if it's eating RAM even when idle there must be something showing in task manager?

Is this your own DIY build? if so, try to re-seat the CPU & Graphic Card/s.

My bet is (if it's all brand new gear) that it's one of the following:
1) As already mentioned.
2) GPU driver.
3) Dodgy RAM or Mobo/Ram Compatibility issues.
4) BIOS setting or Mobo driver.
5) Insufficient power.

Which OS are you using?

It could be, searching for updates / infected by malware / virus / corrupted installation / dodgy download etc.

Download and run Malware Bytes (Free edition)

Check your msconfig / startup tab, and see if something is loading at startup that shouldnt.

you got your using cracked version of Windows I would definitely look at that as issue number 1 it could have anything on there and a lot of anti virus , even malwarebytes don't pick them up. I would definitely consider biting the bullet and buying an original version of Windows it might not be the problem but it's always risky using cracked programs you just don't know what the crack is opening you up to, just saying

ditto.your using a cracked os and you wonder why you have problems???so many people had a year to download and install win7 and get a free upgrade to windows 10...
