Edit: I see you solved the problem; I couldn't get to the second page of responses for some reason. Anyway, simple list at the bottom.
Same problem, same amt of memory. Weirdly, things seem to work pretty well even if the memory usage is quite high. Until it doesn't.
I don't know why 16 GB isn't enough any more.
I always have tskmgr open. Only consulted Process Explorer once so far.
The usual first check and problem is a browser; Firefox is the main culprit (and/or add-ons), but I think I have way too many tabs open and too many bookmarks saved as well making it hefty. But the memory is fine when it first opens.
The second check is VS. It is also fine until it isn't. Again, too many files/tabs open inside VS seems to be a possible issue.
- try usage with no internet connection.
- check for junk added by laptop seller (though I'm not convinced it's an issue.)
- review startup apps regularly; stuff gets readded.
- check task scheduler for hidden background tasks. <--
- check every single app for background calls to home (auto-updates, etc.).

Still trying to figure out the issue with my gaming machine...
I see the video card used 300 Watts of power at most... (which leaves 700 W from my PSU), but then, other part of my system are also using power, so maybe it was starved with power after all, but I dont really know.. How would I know?
I did notice that MWAVE top computer is using 1200Watt PSU (as opposed to my 1000 Watts one), so maybe it is an issue after all..

Unless you're running some super-custom, blown-up liquid cooling loop with a 7000 series and an overclocked 4090, I think a 1000W PSU should be more than enough to handle most systems. Have you tried plumbing your components into https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ to see whether it flags anything? If there was a power draw issue I'd expect it'd flag it.
Also a lot of modern motherboards usually have an LED indicator somewhere which displays a code indicating the hardware issue? Otherwise, back to ol' reliable of removing stuff until it works!

Have you checked whether there is a power connector or two to the graphics card and if so that they are connected.
You could also try underclocking the graphics card slightly and seeing if that fixes the issue.

I still think your power supply is faulty.

I had issues with mine doing weird sounds, the problem was "coil whine?", I just reduced my FPS to 300 in the card settings. Since then soooo quiet. And I don't think I have noticed any difference from dynamic to 300 max.
I know, probably nothing to do with your issue, but reducing FPS might be another way to reduce consumption and see if it brings a delay in the problem or something like that.

Super silent... In fact I had to visually check fan are indeed working!
Must be because I also have liquid cooling...
I ordered a new video card... we shall see
