I've been having this issue with MSI afterburner for a while now and can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is. So to start, Afterburner will not properly display the GPU usage instead showing them sitting at 0% usage whether I have it set to unified monitoring or not. This is annoying and makes it difficult to find game settings that are hammering the GPU for no reason. The other problem, which is the more serious of the two problems, is that after running for about an hour or so, any attempt to open or close afterburner is met with an error that just says "Out of Memory." It's not talking about system memory as I still have plenty to spare. It also is not taking about GPU memory so I think it's overrunning some internal limit. I suspect this is causing a stability issue with overclocks since an otherwise stable overclock will just spontaneously result in a crash.

I have no idea what is causing this. I was running the latest version of afterburner and actually rolled it back to see if it would fix the issue and it didn't. I've updated graphics drivers and afterburner as well as every combination of rolling them back and forth. I'm at a loss and can't find any information about this specific issue.
