  • RAM is 2 GB ?

    MS recommendation is 4GB or more I believe.

  • You should enable lock pages in memory for the SQL service account:

    But 2GB is pathetically low memory for a SQL server. Unless your db is tiny, bump that memory up!

  • It's basically a message telling you that you're running SQL Server on a grossly underpowered machine. 2gb is just the bare minimum to get the server started. You need more memory.

    What happened is that you had some data in cache and then a query was run requiring all the memory to be flushed out to disk in order to load data from the new query into memory. This will keep happening.

    Get more memory.
