Hi there..can someone tell me why my PC gets unresponsive when it is left running on for sometime like when I am doing nothing or while streaming videos. Same thing happens with my browser also. When the PC is not responding it also displays the message " out of memory "in my browser. At such times my running games also do not respond.

Please help.

    You could; Task Manager\Processes tab then sort the Memory column to see what consumes the RAM

    Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to oen Task Manager and check Memory usage. End processes using high memory.

    If you're using Edge, you can use Edge task manager to find out memory consumption:
