RAM Constantly overloaded

Hello there.
I had some Ram issues in the past few months (mostly when playing games) and thought that 16GB of Ram might not be enough.
Now I upgraded to 48GB and still get the same issue.
The values that my taskmanager provides dont even add up.

What do you have showing under Performance for Memory?

Hi Flauschi_XD

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

From your screenshot, I do not see how 96% of 48GB of RAM could be used up

Open Task Manager again, select the Performance Tab and click on Memory

Please post a screenshot of that Tab

Also, open Device Manager, then expand the Processors section, what is the Make and exact Model No. of your processor?

The issue is basically fixed whenever I restart my PC.

Hi Flauschi_XD

If your used RAM resets after a reset, that would imply some application or driver on your system has a memory leak

What your should try is, running just one application or game at a time, then wait to see if the amount of RAM continues to grow, if so, then that has a memory leak, I would suspect a game, or that Metal Encoder you are running . . .

I had the issue appear most often after I played Apex Legends, but even when I closed that game the RAM remained at 90% usage, even tho not indicated by the Taskmanager.

Hi Flauschi_XD

I think certainly, you should completely re-install that game, it does seen to have a memory leak and is not releasing the used RAM . . .
