If you’ve ever had a game crash out of nowhere with no error message, there’s a good chance memory leaks are to blame. I’ve run into this with Horizon Zero Dawn when it first launched on PC, Escape from Tarkov, and more recently Grey Zone Warfare—games that chew through RAM until they eventually crash. Tweaking your RAM settings can help in some scenarios, but it won’t clear out the cached data Windows keeps hoarding in the background.
