You should be able to just sort in task manager by ram usage and figure out what's going on. 8GB fills up fast though anymore if you have multiple things running. It doesn't take more than two or three applications running to get high usage.

It is possible something is running in the background and will settle in time.

I'm sure someone else around here may look into it further.
