My HP Pavilion G6 1160se Laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium x64 has a 4GB RAM and i5 Processor. The laptop is taking up all the RAM with no programs open. The Task Manager shows 100+ processes all the time. The RAM usage is 3.18-3.5 GB all the time. It doesn't go lower than this. In result the computer has become slow, sluggish and I can't open Chrome, Dw, Ps etc. The heat level Is going up due to this and the battery runs out in 1:30 hour max.
I have tried closing many processes and got down to 89 running but still didn't help.
I know about the superfetch thing but I haven't disabled it yet.
I have disabled unnecessary programs at startup.
I really need a solution to this please… help!

You'll need to pinpoint which process is eating up your RAM.
Try downloading the utility RAMMap - click on the processes tab and sort by "Total". You'll see which processes are taking up the most RAM and can go from there. You can also do the same on the "Files" tab, which may help in determining where the problem is.
You can also try Process Explorer, which is like a beefed up task manager to really drill down on the processes.
