I've noticed that my committed RAM is quite high, around 49.9 GB, and I'm getting crashes in ChatGPT indicating that I might not have enough RAM. Is it normal for committed RAM to be this high? Additionally, my cache fills up pretty quickly after starting my PC. I just restarted it 15 minutes ago, and it already shows 7 GB in the cache. That seems unusual to me. I've also been experiencing stuttering while playing Minecraft, especially on the farm world of my server, even though I used to get around 400-600 FPS and now it's dropping to around 100, or even lower. Here are my specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB RAM, and an ASUS B550-A Gaming motherboard. I upgraded all my components within the last year. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's pretty common for Windows 10 and 11 to allocate a good chunk of your RAM for cache – about 50% is normal! So, your situation isn't unusual at all. If you see your RAM usage hitting 80% or higher, that's when you might want to look a bit deeper—maybe some applications are hogging memory, or even malware could be a factor. But for caching, not a problem!
If ChatGPT is crashing but your RAM isn’t maxed out, that’s likely not the root cause. The software can sometimes point to symptoms rather than the actual problem. Regarding the cache, having a lot in there right after a restart is okay; unused RAM just means the system is optimizing performance. As for Minecraft, if you're lagging but others on the same server are fine, it could be a specific issue with your setup or connection. Have you checked for any background processes that might be slowing things down?
Yeah, I've noticed that some apps can take longer to load, and that lag in Minecraft goes crazy on the farm world. I usually have a great FPS, but recently I’ve been getting micro stutter, which is super annoying. I also got an error that said "your PC ran into a problem" after using a shortcut that restarted my PC, but I can't seem to figure out what caused it. I also can’t get the AI chat in AMD Adrenaline to install—it just stays at 0%. Any suggestions?
