why is my ram usage so high?
Your system performance appears to be quite high in certain areas. The CPU usage is at 134%, GPU at 77%, and RAM at 131%. This suggests your hardware is handling demanding tasks well, though it might feel busy. If you're only using Chrome, Task Manager, and YouTube Music, the load seems focused. However, if you open many apps or games, usage spikes further. It’s normal for such configurations to run at elevated levels, but monitoring resource limits could help prevent crashes.
You've got everything covered. Chrome tends to consume a lot of resources. Even with the same tabs open, closing and reopening the browser can cut usage by around 4 to 6 GB. One of the most frustrating cases involved streaming YouTube while chatting actively. The tab process alone could exceed 10 GB, and it would crash when RAM was full—no file sharing could fix that. My advice: restart the browser periodically. You can also configure it to save the last session automatically at startup, so tabs stay intact.
