I just lose video if i select h.264 or use any of the dahua options in BI. If i change the bit rate to 4096 on mJpeg the picture is so grainy you can't see it.
Blue iris and CPU consumption as it relates to memory usage

That is because you are using mjepg. DONT. it is inefficient. That is the core of your problem.
Note that you MUST use h.264 and set the bitrate to 4096, with h.264 that will provide very clear video.
Your cameras are going out because you are running as a service, using hardware acceleration AND windows 7. cant have all 3..use windows 10 or disable service/hardware acceleration.
Disabled hardware acceleration, disabled service, set camera to rtsp and no video.
I'm only following the directions I've seen in this post. Been running BI for over a year, but never paid attention to CPU until recently.

That's because you failed to properly set up the blue iris video tab post your configuration now that you've made the changesDisabled hardware acceleration, disabled service, set camera to rtsp and no video.

uncheck decoder compatibility...
disable substream in the camear or change that to h.264 (should not matter but just for future use).

you onvif discovery port is likely incorrect...try dahua rtsp and also confirm your rtsp port on the camera is set to 554...finally delete the camera in blue iris and add it again starting fresh. try find inspect first then dahau rtsp, then the other dahua options in the drop down.Rebooted after changes.
Used find/inspect

Finally got it to work. I'm down to 30-35% CPU now. Thanks for your help. Is there really a benefit to upgrading to windows 10 on this box?

I run 10 on all my 20+ machines, there is likely no performance difference...if you want to run HA to further reduce cpu and as a service then yes. Also if your system did not come with a 10 license then you will have to pay to upgrade in two years as you will likely want updates....you can still move to w10 for free. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/microsoft-windows-10-free-upgrade-offer-assistive-features...note you will want to do an in place upgrade, ensure activation and then do a clean install using the microsoft media creation tool..always want a clean install on these machines.

fenderman,
I wanted to make sure that the camera buffers to RAM and not the hard drive? Setting is 6mb by default and 40mb is the max. I have cranked mine up to 40mb since I have 32 gigs of ram anyway. I tried 100mb that's how i found out 40 was the max, it changed to 40.

I dont know where it buffers to...i would guess to memory...doesnt really matter, if you are concerned about SSD wear, its a non issue..even on the older models I have been running them for years in my blue iris pc's...the buffered limit used to be 20..it seems like he changed it at some point..

How do you set this on BI? I have 64gb of RAM and rather have it bugger to RAM vs the HD.

its not a selection to choose...its simply lets you select the buffer size, not where its buffered.

Ok, didn't know so I am trying to figure it out. What setting would it be exactly "to make sure that the camera buffers to RAM and not the hard drive"
I cannot find "connection" page. I see:

PTZ/Control
Watchdog
General

yes figured, but what steps can I do to get to camera buffering to RAM?
Looked at the General info on BI, it says:
frame rape 8 fps
bit rate 742 kB/s
what am I seeing here, seems off, is this a setting somewhere or due to reolink still not set correctly?
