So the other day while playing CSGO it started freezing my PC and the only way to fix it was to manually restart it and it did this repeatedly. I looked at my memory usage and it was between 90-100% and I have been tracking down the leak and i've gotten it down to around 30-35% idle and 60-70% while playing and I haven't had issues but my question was is this too high? my friend with the same components has 48% under the same exact load and is the memory leak fully to blame for the issue? I checked my temps and they were all fine. under load: GPU- 70 degrees and CPU- 45 degrees. I'm working on the memory but since I'm not well versed would 100% ram usage lead to a complete freeze of the PC? Thanks for the help!


Specs:
AMD FX-6300 CPU
GeForce GTX 950 GPU
CoolerMaster V650 PSU
2 4gb sticks (8GB) G-skill ripjaw RAM

when a system uses all the ram it has, goes to hard disk to use pagefile.sys as ram on hard disk, this is slow and often can be seen as pc locking it self

the memory leak, once a program fails and uses too much ram you close it and things should go back to normal, a reboot often helps too

i have a MB what supports 1833 ram and i put 2400hz ram in it NOT know a thing about it. The other day after loading CSGO it gave me and error saying memory leaks. i found out that this was the problem (among my CPU not being the best with my MB). People i know with my GPU and CPU get 100fps-150fps while i get 1fps-30fps so hope this helps somewhat.
