The main causes of this error are linked to memory, obviously, and can be a malware (virus) problem inside; insufficient amount of random access to memory; a hardware problem; or it may be related to the incorrect use of the logical resource of one or more applications simultaneously.

The first thing we need to do to resolve the error in question is to right click on the "My Computer" icon to access "Properties". Once there, we locate where it says Performance, and click on “Settings”, then go into “Advanced Options”.

In the window "Virtual memory" , click on "Modify"; then, check the option of custom size, and you will put an amount which depends on the RAM memory of your computer. In 'Initial size' you must put half of the capacity of the RAM, and in 'Maximum size' you will put the total amount of said capacity.

Finally, you just need to accept and restart the device and wait for it to turn back on to check if the problem has been resolved.
