Hi,

 

Here's what's happening. I have 8gb of RAM installed. My Task manager displays it correctly but when I start google chrome+any other game my RAM jumps to around 3.47gb used it's aruong 40% according to Task Manager, However I suddenly get this message that my computer is running out of memory and my game automatically closes and google chrome crashes. I usually encounter this issue when I was using my old PC which has only 4gb of RAM however this PC that I'm using has 8GB. Is there some kind of memory leak? Help me guys

Maybe a windows repair will fix the problem. If not, you got a little chance that a BIOS update (and/or other driver updates, although that is highly unexpectable) will help. If a windows repair does not work, the best option is indeed to reïnstall windows.

hmm BIOS update seems kinda viable. I've been wanting to update/downgrade it since I shift to F9 Bios my up and down inside UEFI got inverted. lol
