To fix this, you'll want to have a bigger pagefile.\\n\\nA pagefile is a file on your disk Windows will use when there is not enough RAM available.\\n\\n**Never disable the pagefile - this may lead to various issues on your system, such as this Skyrim crash.**\\n\\nIf you've never touched the pagefile, try performing the following steps:\\n1. Press Windows + R on your keyboard and enter `sysdm.cpl ,3`\\n2. Under the Performance section, press 'Settings'\\n3. Go to the Advanced tab at the top, and at the Virtual memory section press 'Change...'\\n4. Disable 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives'\\n5. If you have more than one drive, try enabling it for at least one more drive as a backup (make sure it has a decent bit of free space, like 15GB). Set the size to 'System managed size'.\\nOtherwise, set a custom size for the drive it's currently on and increase the maximum size to be at least 20GB.\"}",
