I see a problem right off the top, you have many, many open Chrome. Why are you using so many browser windows?

Do you have any type of synch or back ups between the two drives?
Is the drive with the smaller free space a SSD?

That's confusing. You said you have 40 Gb free and 2 Tb on the other HD.
Is this a 3 Tb drive with two partitions?

Which drive is used for virtual memory and how much do you have set?
Is your system slow for other things other than watching series?

I don't think you can set virtual memory that high. I also wouldn't set it on a drive separate from your main hard drive.
Have you ever set it? If not, then Windows is managing it and I wouldn't worry about it. I thought maybe you had the virtual memory set to a large size that might be taking up space on your C: drive.

My problem seems to actually have been solved... my nvidia driver scanner found today a new update to the drivers. and after installing that my memory has been going around 2.7gig ram for a few hours now.. so seems the problem was the previous beta driver update of my graphics card

We are glad that you got this sorted, I will mark this thread as solved.
