Stopping memory overflows on ASRock A320M-HDV R4.0?
Staring at that infinite loading icon while switching camera views was driving me insane. The low bandwidth on the ASRock A320M just can't handle the data load of a modern open world, with RAM usage pegged at 96%, causing constant I/O blocks. I tried dropping every single graphics setting to low, which gave me a pathetic 8 FPS boost but didn't stop the freezing—really depressing stuff. I ended up going into System Advanced settings and manually locked the page file to 24GB on my fastest NVMe partition and killed every useless background app. In Resource Monitor, the page file R/W dropped from 160MB/s to 40MB/s, and load times plummeted from 45s to 18s. I actually tried putting the page file on an old HDD first, which made the lag three times worse until I moved it back to the SSD. RAM temps are hovering around 40-46℃. The cache scheduling is finally behaving.
