Running PC with 40GB RAM during idle mode
Running PC with 40GB RAM during idle mode
Hello, your PC is currently utilizing 40GB of your 64GB RAM. In Task Manager it doesn’t show any process using that much memory, yet it still indicates over 60% utilization. This is puzzling given how new the system is and the problems you’ve faced since installation. I’m frustrated because I built this setup about two months ago and have only encountered issues like random game crashes after just a few minutes of playtime, even after numerous driver updates and reinstalls. This situation has become frustrating enough to seek advice from the community. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, welcome to Windows. The system isn't accurately tracking RAM usage. Chrome might be showing 1,900MB, but it could actually be using around 36,000MB. Try closing Chrome to verify the correct amount.
The simplest next step is to halt each process one by one until the memory usage decreases, or use a tool named Process Explorer to inspect which program has consumed 30GB of RAM.
Click the column and pick select columns. Choose one or more additional memory settings. This helps you understand how memory is utilized further within processes.
