Your system runs a budget PC with a Ryzen 5 2600, GTX 1660, and 8GB RAM. The memory is struggling under load—when Chrome is open it jumps to 75% usage, then climbs to 87-94%, preventing you from launching games. Your CPU and GPU appear functional, but you're thinking whether the issue lies solely with the RAM.

It seems one of your RAM modules might be faulty, leaving you with just 4GB. You could check the task manager to see the actual amount of RAM available.

You only have one 8GB stick, unfortunately.

Verify if any processes are consuming excessive memory in the background.
