during rendering process only CPU and RAM is important.
in case
Free Memory is low
you might buy some more ram or increase your virtual memory. rightclick System, hit properties > advanced > SystemOptions (first button).
to change the size of your virtual memory hit > Change
here you have a list of your harddisc volumes. I have a single partition just for my system´s pagefile. by selecting a volume it is active for changing the settings below. I use 4095 for both min and max. by default your system creates a dynamic pagefile on C:\ which is about your RAM size + 20% for max. giving it a static size like 4095 - 4095 prevents your pagefile from being fragmented. now restart your system.
don´t know if I´ve translated vocabularies in correct way, cause my system is german_language.
hope it helped you tho!

edit: better defragment your volume befor applying a new static memory size.
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.
