troubleshooting Standby memory usage

[YDC]

Hello, so yesterday I took a screenshot of resource monitor right after my game froze again and I just wanted to know if anything Is wrong.

From what little information we have here it seems fine? If you computer isn't crashing I doubt you are having a memory issue.

It's not, crashing - it's freezing while gaming.

Looking at your post history it makes the most logical sense to me that you have an issue with your SSD. That said locking up for 30 secs at a time doesn't sound quite like a failing SSD... most of the time they die in a blaze of glory. 

 

All that said, your memory seems fine. I would look elsewhere.

That's most likely a bug of the game and not a memory issue.

 

You still have 8100 MB of memory available (= Standby + Free).

 

Available = Standby + Free
Cached = Standby + Modified

 

"Standby" contains things you might need soon, but Windows will make that available to running apps, as soon as they request it. So it isn't "used" in that sense, which is why it is contained in "Available".

Looking at her post history, she is having the issue on multiple steam games on all the same SSD.

You posted a second before I did So yeah, SSD issues might cause that. I was just trying to explain some things about the screenshot, to add to your answer that memory is most likely not the cause.

Alright, for future reference here is your manual: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_x470-aorus-gaming-7-wifi_1001_180628_e.pdf

 

From the looks of it, (I took a very brief look) it shouldn't matter for your SATA SSD what port you use for your M.2 drive. M2A is PCIe 3.0 and SATA and M2B is PCIe 2.0 ONLY if that matter for your drive.

So I should cross that out and not try and change sata ports? I changed the cable but it didint help

I mean, it wouldn't hurt. I just highly doubt that is your issue.

Doing some thinking on this I may come back to this tomorrow.

 

Do you have any other games installed not from steam? Do those have issue?

 

What GPU do you have and are the drivers up to date?

I have the Gigabyte Gaming OC version and a GoodRam cx400 512GB ssd for my games.Everything is up to date,i disabled Link State power management and Ive already set everything to high performance.Firmware is up to date,my Bluetooth and WiFi drivers are straight from Intel.i changed the Sata cable aswell..didnt change the port though but i dont think its a hardware issue..

Also,im sorry for the late response.
