Where's my RAM running away?

Folks, I'm in a great problem, it seems something eating my RAM away, not what you think but the memory size is reducing day by day.

By CCleaner, my RAM showed 512MB.
About a month ago, itcame down to 503MB, I didn't pay any attention.
7 Days back, it came down to 498MB, ok mabe some fault was there.
Now, today, 486 MB, now confirmed something wrong.

Guys,I can't figure out what the problem is, and I cannot simply afford to let this continue, What's the problem??????????

No need to worry CCleaner shows available RAM rest may be used by onboard graphics. Use
CPU Z to check actual RAM.

must be taken away by ccleaner..

seriously right click my computer and properties..and the amount of ram shown there is the one avail to the system

Right Click on My Computer > Properties.

Check there.

Well you think I havn't tried that, even that seems to get updated. And I don't have onboard graphics. I have been using a 6200TC for the past 3 years.

So its 6200TC. Thats TurboCache and the GPU can use some amount of memory from RAM in addition to its onboard memory if TurboCache is enabled. Maybe thats whats happening. Try CPU-Z.

Check using "type dxdiag in run"....how much are you getting.

System RAM can not decrease, unless you are physically replacing the memory modules.

Use CPU Z to check RAM.
And in any case it cannot decrease.
