Check your Task Manager (should you be in Windows). If the amount of RAM being reserved/not used is less than 1 GB, that may be the problem.

Also, 5.89 is quite a strange number. Just sayin' I did do some research and came up with the conclusion that its 5.89GB that's being occupied by the computer. Usually the amount of RAM is 6GB. The OS keeps a couple MB out of use for emergency-type actions such as quickly terminating a malicious program or saving vital information.
