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.

Open Task Manager, navigate to the memory section. Identify Chrome’s high usage due to plugins and active themes. Look for other significant applications running and terminate those that aren’t needed.

No, I didn't use userbenchmark to check your RAM usage.

UserBenchMark is recognized as untrustworthy and often delivers inaccurate data. Your system usage might not be as high as it seems. Third, press ctrl+shift+esc to launch Task Manager, then navigate to the Performance section, and finally select Memory.

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.

It seems you're dealing with an overwhelming number of tabs in Chrome. Consider closing them one by one or taking a screenshot of your task manager to identify what's consuming space.
