Basic Information: RTX 3060 Ryzen 7 3700x with 16 GB RAM at 3600MHz. Sometimes when launching a game like FiveM or Star Wars Battlefront 2, my system acts strangely. After a short gaming session, Spotify begins looping every second. The game then becomes unresponsive, often responding slowly or not at all, causing me to move in one direction until I switch monitors or the problem resolves itself within 30-220 seconds. I suspect a RAM issue, but checking Task Manager shows it doesn’t fully utilize memory. The situation usually clears on its own. I haven’t found any relevant solutions online yet.

Sure, I tried shifting them to separate SSDs and didn't notice any improvement.

Consider the impact of moving from the game to Task Manager—RAM consumption will decrease slightly. Know your previous RAM usage before switching. Are the games running on a specific type of storage? Is Spotify installed on the same drive?
