What happened?

I am using the --always-cpu flag to run exclusively on the CPU, however, upon attempting to load the SDXL model, it crashes instantly (owing to inadequate available RAM—having only 12GB in total, the system has to rely on virtual memory swapping, which is the fundamental reason for the crash). In the original web UI, the SDXL model loads properly and generates images without any problems.

I had a similar issue: When I load juggernautXL_v9Rdphoto2Lightning checkpoint and tried to generate an image, WebUI Forge crashed without any error in console.

I've disabled the swap file in windows settings, because I thought I don't need it with 32GB RAM. After switching it to managed by windows it works again.
