Hey all,
I built a PC about a year ago and everything has run great on it besides this. My only issue I've noticed is when I'm download ANYTHING large enough it will max out my 8 GBs of RAM (a steam games for example). Say I'm downloading a 30gb game file. I will have to restart my computer 2 or 3 times during the install because my memory usage will slowly climb up during the install until it maxes out at 99-100% and starts locking my PC up. Is it just bad ram? Should I order new memory or is it something with my OS that is causing the issue? I'm pretty stumped on this one as I have never really run into this problem before. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
