How to fix the memory overflow on ADATA ValueRam 4GB RAM?

Whenever I hit high-res texture zones, that 4GB of ADATA ValueRam just vanishes instantly. The system starts panic-swapping to the hard drive, and my frame rate tanks to a pathetic 5-8 FPS. I checked HWiNFO and the physical memory usage was deadlocked at 98-99%, which was honestly a nightmare to deal with. I tried killing every single background process, but it only freed up about 120MB—basically useless. I eventually went into the system settings and manually locked the paging file between 12-16GB, moving it all to my fastest NVMe partition. At first, this actually caused some nasty input lag, but once I completely disabled the Windows Search indexing service, the frame times finally dropped from a sluggish 120ms down to a manageable 45-60ms. During this, my RAM temps stayed around 38-42℃ with fans humming at a low 1100 RPM. After testing various page file sizes, the data swap path is finally optimized. Physical RAM is still tight, but the frame times are staying steady at 45-60ms now.
