OK so how do i allocate more RAM to windows. How do i enable Minidumps?
The RAM issue i am having is it simply wont use more ram. I have tried watching YouTube tutorials and how they reset the maximum ram number.
but it keeps saying 8.00gb installed- 3.80gb usable.
Now the biggest problem i have: I am loading Minecraft with Opti Fine and a shader pack installed. I have an AMD Radeon 7950 with the latest AMD Radeon Adrenalin engine installed. So, whenever i load these shaders, the game crashes and says: Failed to write core dump. Minidumps are not enabled by default on client versions of windows.( I can link the full crash report if you want) And I did try to enable minidumps in the control panel and that didn't do anything.
So yeah. My PC needs serious help.

Ok so I tested the other RAM slot and it didn't work. So I guess the ram problem cant be resolved... but what about the crash problem??

Hi,
In Windows 10, access the computer properties and and click on Advanced System Settings to launch a dialogue box. Click System Properties and Settings again to open a new set of options. Choose the Adjust for Best Performance option and apply the changes. Restarting the computer will make the changes take effect and programs requiring more RAM will automatically receive that allocation.
The other option involves choosing to prioritize the RAM in a specific program. Open the "Task Manager" in Windows and click the Processes option and right click the desired priority process. Click Set Priority and the RAM will now focus on that specific program. It will speed up and operate more efficiently with the newly allocated RAM.
Also, it recommends that you set virtual memory to be no less than 1.5 times and no more than 3 times the amount of RAM on your computer. For power PC owners (like most UE/UC users), you likely have at least 2GB of RAM so your virtual memory can be set up to 6,144 MB (6 GB).
Go to the Start Menu and click on Settings. Type performance. Choose Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows. In the new window, go to the Advanced tab and under the Virtual memory section, click on Change.
In fact, the game can't use that much. I think you're probably talking about the total memory used of your 8GB not just what game uses. You can see what a program uses under Task Manager -> "Processes" however for games you normally have no control over assigning that.
Hope above information can help you.
