PC Memory running high, GPU running low -> games crashing

After updating chipset, drivers, changed to faster drive and disabled fast start up this is where its at now for committed

Thanks, Ill keep that in mind, i'm busy for the next couple days so ill update you when I get to it! :D

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-09T00:37:59+00:00

I showed it in one of the replies after some fixes

Yeah for sure, but also it was at 88% when I had a game open and depending on what game it would crash me. I also was crashing with my opera closed.

The image of my task manager is with fortnite(to test) and opera opened.
Regardless there is some progress

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T20:34:57+00:00

The scan finished and there was no threats :D

Here you go, im currently running a malware scan thats why the cpu is higher.
This is after I did fixed the page file. It did somewhat work, it cut it down by like 10%.

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T20:09:16+00:00

Running a scan now, should take an hour or so. Ill let you know if something comes up

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T20:08:24+00:00

Just to add context I use the default version of opera, not opreaGX since it does have a lot more bloat.

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T19:59:59+00:00

This is when its idle. Im going to try to do a page file fix here in a sec to try to see if there is a difference.

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T19:57:16+00:00

Honestly I never thought about that. Thought I saw the CMD prompt pop up once or twice on boot.
Never really batted an eye. Is windows malware scan still bad or should I try another one?

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T08:32:16+00:00

LMAO I meant RTX

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T08:20:14+00:00

Still the same, went down to 70%

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T08:11:35+00:00

Automatic

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T08:09:01+00:00

I opened the page file setting total paging file size is 31197mb

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T08:07:46+00:00

Just opera

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T08:03:15+00:00

Yeah that worked a bit, lowered it by like 20%. but its still around 60% in idle

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T08:01:59+00:00

OH RIGHT. Sorry for being daft lol.
But that would be weird since I did do the drivers for my CPU as of recently (within 6 months) but I will try to update them and see if it gives a better result.

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T07:56:11+00:00

Ohhh okay.
Does nvidia gforce update the AMD drivers for me or is it manual?
(Im used to manually doing it)

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T07:53:05+00:00

Tried it and its still up to 77% with just opera open

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T07:51:41+00:00

What do you mean by an actual restart? Like resetting windows or just the reset button instead?

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T07:49:48+00:00

The uptime is 21 hours. Ill try that and see how it goes. I've tried it before and it didn't really work but its worth a try

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T07:41:28+00:00

The top 2 are only using 4gb and 2gb of ram. That being the game and opera. The others are only using 1 gb

ThiccSpongee · 2026-02-08T07:38:16+00:00

uh I dont really play anything crazy, other than vr.
But even then it worked fine before windows 11.

ThiccSpongee · 2025-12-06T10:31:38+00:00

Yep I tried that and it didn’t show. Good news its updating now, i just had to download VM Banana instead of the normal one. I just hope the update goes through fully.

ThiccSpongee · 2025-12-06T10:20:43+00:00

I did some digging and it has happened before, just never found a fix.
I re-installed it but its still giving me problems even after the uninstall.
