Hi

 

I have been playing Marvel Rivals and its been kicking me out of the game because it says I am low on memory I have 16 gigs of ram (Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz) 3070ti and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D

When my computer is idle and doing nothing but having a chrome tab open its at 70% usage. How do I figure out whats going on and why this happening and how to fix it? I plan on getting more ram but am broke at the moment.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Win11? If so in that os ms adopted the unused ram is wasted ram way of working where they keep a lot more data than needed available in ram for faster operation of the system and opening of applications.

 

Once the ram is needed it will dump the non used data to disk.

 

However seems like you just have a bunch of stuff open in the background (open programs and open hidden services) so have a look what starts up with your pc and get rid of unneeded things. If a browser is ooen during gaming close it as thats a lot active ram usage. Lastly upgrade to 32gb as 16gb has transitioned to min needed memory over the last few years.

I have seen this happen where one RAM stick goes bad, it still reports the full 16 GB but 8 GB is permanently "reserved." What are you using to measure 70 usage? Can you show screenshots of the task manager performance tab?

Upload a screenshot of Task Manager with it sorted by Memory usage

Because 16gb is a bare minimum. Folks will say Windows is just using extra RAM for caching but if you upgrade to 64GB you will see about the same usage until you do tasks that take up more RAM

i lowered the game quality and now its not crashing i guess i just need more ram or maybe 1 is burnt out or something

In task manager click the second icon in the stack on the left hand side. The one above the clock. Then go to the Memory section. That will give a summary of what the computer things it has for RAM. That's what I meant to ask for.
