Hi everyone! Just recently, I switched from an Asus TUF 3080 to a powercolor red devil 7900 xt x, and now I'm having memory leaks with Windows. I have a 32GB PC running the Neo Forza pc4-25600 (ddr4-3200) model NMGD480E82-3200 in Black, with four sticks of 8GB. I also have my i9-9900k processor, a Gigabyte Z390 UD motherboard, five SSDs including one Inland NVMe A Gamdias Chione M240r with an Air Liquid cooler, four more Gamdias Aeolus fans, and a Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 controller that connects both the board and three 8-pin power supplies. I'm using a Gigabyte 750W power supply (Ultra Durable model). At first boot, my memory is usually around 30 to 35 percent used when not working hard. After about 24 hours, it uses 50 to 60 percent. By 48 hours, it's using 70 to 80 percent. Some programs like Chrome and the Steam Web Helper Service are using a lot of memory (1-2GB each), but when I close them, my memory usage drops back down to about 10 percent. However, this leak keeps happening somewhere that isn't showing up in Task Manager or Resmon. I tried fixing it by reinstalling Windows, which didn't work. This started happening just a few days after changing my GPU from the 3080 to the 7900 xt x, and it's been going on ever since. Is AMD Adrenalin causing this problem?
