Well, I have tried just about everything and the problem is still occurring. I pulled out the upgraded video card and am now running the onboard video. I also stepped through the settings in attempting to adjust the virtual memory as suggested by w7pro. I am not 100% sure how to prevent the memory leak or preventing programs from not freeing up memory that it no longer needs.
When I stepped through the virtual memory settings, the total paging file size for all drives to set to 7928 MB (I am running 8GB of RAM).
I did notice something else this morning, there was just over 5 GB of constant memory usage with no noticeable programs running. I attempted to open the resource monitor, when they did finally open, it was not displaying anything, just 0 values for everything.
After a restart and opening the memory resource monitor here is what I see:
Available: 6081 MB
