Every morning when I get to work I get the low memory warning, but there's plenty of free RAM available. Has anyone else had this false warning before? My RAM usage never goes above 50%

I'm guessing it is specifically related to the application mentioned in the error, "Pale Moon web browser." Do you use it regularly? Never heard of it, quick google shows that it's open source, so memory leaks are possible/likely/probable.
 
Pale Moon is a Firefox fork, because the developer sees things going bad for Firefox, especially 38.x.x or later.
 
The next time it happens, use the "Open Resource Monitor" link in Task Manager, and check the memory tab. Post a screenshot here.
