Hows it goin everyone. I'm havin an issue with my computer in that I seem to have a ram issue. Looking at the task manager performance section, says the amount my ram is using is 6.1 in use. When I exit chrome and just have discord open, it's about 5.5GB in use. Says i have Cached pretty much 2GB. Reason i ask is 90% of the time Ill get a extremely annoying desktop refresh. Where chrome gets exited, wallpaper on both monitors reinitialize, desktop icons refresh. If i have more than like 8 chrome tabs open, even menial ones like just google searches it'll freak. Speaking of chrome crashing, it just cancelled this page even though i only have a youtube tab and this tab for writing this. Any help? This is getting quite annoying. When i restart my pc it fixes it for a little while though. Been like this for a while but seemingly getting worse these past few weeks. But i've dealt with it for so long I'm used to it. Thanks for the help everyone!
