Fixing memory overflow on Soyo SY-A320D4+ for Black Desert?
During massive node wars, the game would just lock up and crash after about two hours. It was a total performance cliff. The memory controller on the Soyo SY-A320D4+ was failing to reclaim resources because the motherboard microcode was ancient, pushing RAM usage up to 15.2-15.8GB. I tried dropping all the graphics settings to the absolute minimum, but the crash happened at the exact same time regardless—it was honestly hopeless. I finally updated to the latest microcode firmware and manually locked the virtual memory at 16GB while enabling Windows Memory Compression. Resource Monitor showed the peak usage stabilizing at 13-14GB, and the crashes stopped entirely. The only downside was that boot times slowed down by 2 seconds, but I fixed that by cleaning up the boot entries. RAM temps are low at 38-45℃. I've backed up the microcode and VM settings just in case, though RAM temps occasionally peak at 58-63℃.
