Greetings.
After installing windows 8.1 from scratch on my new mobo, gigabyte G1.sniper z97, I realised that ntoskrnl.exe is using from 8,8 to 10Gbyte ram. Why is this? How do I make this file using less ram?
I have installed all the newest drivers from Gigabytes website.

I have 16 Gbyte ram in my PC, so not much left to games :confused:

Are you sure BIOS settings are correct and have you tested the RAM?
