Currently running a SymPy script to calculate some insanely complex equations (that I can’t do by hand) for research. I kept crashing this PC (that has 96GB of RAM) by maxing out the virtual memory (330ish GB) every time the script ran.
I eventually manually raised the pagefile maximum size to 3TB split evenly (1.5TB) across two partitions on a 8TB SSD and got it to not fail. It has currently stabilized at ~1.3TB of committed virtual memory with a ~1TB pagefile on just one of the two partitions (increased since taking WizTree photo).

Just curious if anyone else has ever reached such extreme RAM usage before?

*Sorry for not using screenshots like a sensible person, I just don’t feel likely trying to copy them across to my phone to post this.

UPDATE (8/18): It’s the next day now and it looks like the calculation has gotten over this little RAM hump and calmed down to a much more reasonable ~30GB in use (~20GB belonging specifically to the SymPy script).

UPDATE #2 (8/18): RAM usage is actually steadily climbing upward, currently at 65GB. Maybe it’ll find its way back to 1TB+ eventually.

UPDATE #3 (8/18): Up to 150GB now. I’m curious to see if it will have gone up more by the time I check tomorrow or if it’ll collapse back down again.

How to fix it tbh

Saw this on my laptop( air m2)

does the upper component look burned or broken? if yes, then where do i get another one of that? edit: the upper component also has "A3" written on it

Meine Freundin wollte unbedingt der Sauerteig Sekte Beitreten, nur bei uns ist es aktuell noch zu Kalt, daher kam sie auf die Gloreiche Idee mein Unifi Gateway Max und mein Mini PC mit einen Ryzen 7 5700U als Elektrische Heizung für ihren Sauerteig auszunutzen, und es Funktioniert zu gut...
