Hi Shruti,

if you're using Windows as operating system, try to increase the virtual
memory of your system:

1) right click on "My Computer" > "System Properties"
2) Tab "Advanced" > "Performance Options" > "Virtual Memory"
3) set paging file size to a fixed value of ~3x system memory on a fast
hard drive disk

cheers,
