How to fix memory spikes on Biostar H310MHD3 in Manor Lords?
Once my city hit a certain scale, the smooth panning turned into a literal slideshow, with RAM usage hovering between 92% - 98%. It felt like the hardware had just hit a brick wall. I tried the classic 'close all background apps' routine, but recovering 400MB of RAM was like putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound—completely useless. I ended up manually setting a fixed 16GB virtual memory page file and messed with the BIOS timings, squeezing them from 18-22-22 down to 16-20-20. Using Resource Monitor, I saw the page swap frequency drop from 120/s to about 30/s, with temps staying around 55°C - 61°C. I did hit a Blue Screen of Death during the first timing tweak, which only cleared up after I nudged the RAM voltage to 1.25V. Frame times settled around 22-28ms. It's not 'ultra-smooth,' but the infuriating freezes are gone. This kind of trial-and-error tuning is the only way to survive on low-end gear. I verified the fix via system logs, and the memory overflow errors have vanished.
