You can do as I suggested earlier and close some of the processes you have running in the background.

Or you can use the command prompt to change how much page file you have on your hard drive. The page file is the space on your hard drive that is set aside for windows to use as memory when you do not have enough RAM to preform a task it will write to the page file area on your hard drive to help speed up the task. But page file is not as fast as RAM memory but it should help in your case.

In order to use the command prompt to set your page file size you will have to set the command prompt to be the default script handler. The way to do that is once you open the command prompt type in CSCRIPT.exe then push enter, Then type in CSCRIPT//H: CScript this will set it to be the default script handler.

With that completed you will then type in pagefileconfig.vbs then hit enter. This will bring up your current page file settings make not of what your current settings are just in case something goes wrong.

Now Type in pagefileconfig.vbs /change /m 4095 /vo c: then hit enter.
Take not there is a space before every forward slash it must be typed in right or windows will not recognize the command. you can referee to the picture below as to what it should look like when you type it in.
