Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/13014

Currently A.I. is using the memory i guess and not the overflow (swap files) my a.i. on 8 GB is currently not overflowing to swap space when it runs out of main memory, is there a version which does this already instead of crashing sometimes.

the main system is stable for 5 months, i have to restart (stop stop start) the a.i. to get back on track

@mchiang0610 commented on GitHub (Dec 11, 2025):

Hi, sorry about this. The current performance difference of VRAM, System memory (if not using unified memory) and SSD or HDD is too great.

Ollama shouldn't be crashing though - if not enough memory is available for Ollama to run the model, Ollama will error on loading. Would love to separately track the crashes!

Closing this issue for now. Please feel free to open new issues for the crashes. Thank you so much.
