I've got a pretty solid setup with an RTX 4070, a 12th gen i5-12004F, and 32GB of RAM. However, whenever I try to start a game, I hit a memory leak error. I've tried everything I can think of without opening the PC (the RAM seems glued in), so I'm a bit stuck here. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Could you share a photo showing the memory leak error and another of your PC's insides? It might help us figure out if that glued RAM thing is real or just a misunderstanding.
First off, RAM can't actually be glued in, so don't worry about that! It's likely just seated tightly in slots near the CPU, possibly blocked by your cooler. I'd recommend shutting down your PC, unplugging it, and then carefully pulling one stick of RAM out. Check if games start up without errors. If they still don't, swap the RAM sticks and test again. Sometimes faulty RAM can cause these issues and it's an easy fix! Just avoid touching the gold contacts and remember to power down completely before messing with the hardware.
The memory leak issue seems resolved, but now the games still won't boot. Here's a photo of the error I got:
