This has really gotten me stumped. What process could be eating up all 8GB of my RAM? You can see a screenshot of both task manager and resource monitor but the figures don't seem to add up.
The issue seems to start when playing Battlefield 3 for a while but turning it off doesn't change anything. Could this be some memory leak? If so, how can I determine what exactly is eating all of my RAM up?

Resource monitor with basically everything off (no browsers, only apps that should be loaded by default): http://i.imgur.com/QgnYq.jpg
Restarting seems to fix the issue.
Specs, if needed:
Windows 8 Pro x64
Kingston 8GB RAM 1600 MHz (don't recall the name, Genesis I think?)
Intel i5-3570k
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H (latest BIOS)
AMD Radeon 6950 1GB
Crucial M4 256GB SSD (latest firmware)
Latest updates and stable drivers, no overclocks.
Any help is appreciated. :)
