CSGO high RAM usage causing crashes
CSGO high RAM usage causing crashes
Hi,
I recently tried CSGO on a system with significantly higher specs than recommended.
My setup included:
- Q8200 processor
- ECS G31T-M7 board
- 4GB DDR2 RAM
- Inno3d GT 730 2GB DDR3
- Windows 7 64bit
I was able to launch the game, reduced settings to medium, and played with bots.
Almost at the end of loading, it froze and displayed an error about insufficient memory.
After restarting and checking the task manager, I noticed my RAM usage was increasing steadily—confirming that I had no available memory.
Could this issue be caused by something specific?
My possible solutions are:
- Reinstalling Windows to 32-bit, which would cap RAM usage to around 3.75GB (just an approximation).
- Ensuring I’m not sharing RAM with the graphics card.
Any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated.
