My specs aren't great but they should be enough to play most games, considering I can run gta 5 fine but then when i try other games my frame rate completely shits itself to the point of me not being able to move.
-I have a Radeon R7 200 series 8gb of ram and AMD Fx-8320

I have been told this is decent enough to play games (the one i have had the most issues with is Player unknown battleground where it even gets to the point where I cant even load into the game much less play.), But everytime i go to load in my computer spikes to 90%-100% usage of my RAM
Do I have Malware or what, Im just very confused

Thank you,
Low

What other games are you having trouble with and what exactly are the framerates? PUB is a poor game to diagnose a problem with your PC, given that it's early access and even if you have the best R7 200 series, that just barely scrapes the weaker of the GPUs listed in the minimum requirements.

You could have malware of course, you should be checking that anyway. And if your RAM is being used, you should check what's using the RAM. And your drivers should be updated if you haven't already (sorry, gotta ask, if you're unsure what your GPU is, you may not be keeping...
