UPDATE: So i've noticed that i'm actually at 80% ram usuage right now with a game running and not having any issues,the game is using 900-1g of memory. Now if i boot up a different game that uses 1.5-2 gigs of ram, windows will give me a low memory warning...any tips for this? This seems to ONLY happen when i have a game running more than 1.5 gigs of memory.
So i've had the same ram for about 4 years now.
My specs are:
Windows 10
i7 4970k @ 4.6GHz
2x GTX 970
EVGA supernova 1300 watt psu
8gb of ripjaws ram (2x4gb)
Gigabyte z97x-Gaming 7 mother board
250 gb samsung 850 ssd
(1 tb harddrive recently failed on me. i started to have issues with my computer ever since this happened)
So basically my computer just stopped working and it wasn't until i removed my hard drive from my computer and installed everything i had completely on the ssd that i got back control of my computer. But now when i start my computer, it takes a while for the motherboard stuff to show up, and even when it shows up....it takes a long ass time to get to windows....on a brand new ssd. So i reinstalled windows compleletly remember, so i don't think it's a virus issue. So i decided not to act on the slow loading bc whatever.
So i started gaming again, and now whenever i run into a game that uses 1.5-2 gigs of ram, not vram, but ram itself...it crashes. I get that windows warning of low memory when it crashes, but the system is only using 50% maybe 60% of my ram when it crashes (4-5 gigs). I think it's a ram hardware issue? idk, but i just want to make sure that it is 100% a RAM hardware issue before i go and buy a different set of ram. If there is anything software-ish that you guys think would help....please comment and save my computer and gaming life lmao.
