After a while of playing the "Planetary System" catalogue starts lagging until the engine crashes. I thought it might be a memory leak so I opened my task manager and I've documented the proceeding.
Here's the my memory usage looks like at startup
here's what resource monitor said after I flew around a bit
so I flew to a planet to jack up the texture memory because at first I thought that there might be a memory leak like I mentioned but It wasn't too long before the memory usage went down as it started to flicker.
.
Soon afterwards I bolted off in some random direction in these conditions and it crashed!
I planned on uploading my SE.log but the file is too large so I'll paste the relevant stuff in here, I have written
"......//data was deleted from log" where I have removed content to keep it brief. hopefully I didn't remove anything too crucial.

to save you the hassle of looking through my logs I'll tell you that when it crashed there was no error message, perhaps there's an unhanded exception.
Here's my play pattern. I go to the star browser, search for any objets, sort them by planet or star class whatever suits my mood. I pick one,open the planetary system catalogue find an interesting place and goto it. I fly around, take screenshots, then I move to the next one in the star browser find another one from the Planetary system catalogue and keep doing it until I get this bug that I described.
One thing I noticed is that every time this happens I see the purple loading spinny thing on the upper right corner of my screen, and it gets really laggy, then when I move out of a system, a cluster or a galaxy, it crashes in the way I described.
I was wondering if anyone else had this happen, If so are there things I can do to fix this?
also Thank you for taking the time to review this. It's a lot to absorb.
