May I ask when did the issue started? Was it after you downloaded or installed a new program, or after leaving your computer turned on 24-hours? All of these could be a part of reasons aside from other things why you got the “program too big to fit in memory” error message. I would recommend that you try to start your computer on safe mode without internet connection and see if you can scan it to check for any viruses. After that, please try to restart your computer normally again and see if you will still get the same error message. If so, please go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/products/windows to use the windows diagnostic tools to help you check your computer’s components to isolate the problem further.

I have found solutions for your problems 1. Please update your antivirus software and run a full scan this might be a malware that had affected your system and have a registry cleaner and fixer for your problem it might have mess with your registry files. ( Please have a very trusted antivirus I prefer kaspersky or norton they have the great detection rates for viruses like these) 2. Try checking if you have a good or bad ram there are programs that checks ram if it is still good.  https://www.memtest86.com/ This is the link of the most recommend tool for checking your ram but there are more memory testers out there here is the next memory tester next to that I have given you http://www.simmtester.com/PAGE/products/doc/docinfo.asp and http://www.memorytesters.com/ and if you found out you have a bad ram please try changing or replacing your ram. Have a nice day
