hi, thanks for the reply, so u are saying that u didn't crash when painting. so how much memory were u using with my file. with file that small. using all 32gb of my memory is obviously a bug. the log file i acquired from the blender path file, along with other log files and .blend autosave. can this be the reason why i am crashing and using all my memory? one drive somehow messed thing up?

hi, i think i found the reason, eevee will crash when i turn on soft shadow, texture size and shadow map size will not affect anything. also i dont know how to save log, so i copied and pasted everything, but there is a portion at the top that got cut off, command prompt didnt show everything.
it looks like everytime the gpu usage dips down, the command prompt is showing the same group of text, then the gpu usage goes up to around 40%, at this time command prompt doesn't show anything. then it dips down and repeated the same lines.

i think i found out what the problem is. when i turn off the 28 light sources, eevee works fine. but when i turn them on, problem appears. gpu starts going up and down, blender freezes like i mentioned above.

I might have came out with some reasonable hypothesis

update: i get this viewport bug consistently when i try to rotate models in rendered view in cycles with one sample. it will lag then stop updating. the top left where it shows all the calculations will say "canceled".

is it because i overclocked the GPU?
i didnt overclock my old gpu but i still have this problem
