It may not help but try setting your windows paging file to something huge, I’m currently using a 211GB paging file on a SSD who’s sole purpose is to be a paging file drive.
Before I was using the default windows 11% on the OS drive, the difference has helped general performance and it has helped others in the past with out of memory errors.
