Ok, it is clear you are trying to help but please let this one go.
That source you posted is obviously outdated and clearly rookie targeted.
Mining is not the typical usage senario for desktop PC so please skip any article, guide whatever that is not specifically made for Cryptomining.
Anything below 20GB virtual memory will propably crash the miner. Even the OP states that VM should be 16GB or more.
I recommend he sets it to 25GB and try again.
Actually, when I decreased my RAM from 8 GB to 3 GB, I was facing some sort of application crash during mining (somewhat similar to @damba_'s), but decreasing the virtual RAM to 15000 MB worked out for me that time (it was way over this number before I decreased it). It's still running good at 15000 MB (just re-checked this number) with 3 GB RAM.
From what I can conclude, if you've over 4 GB RAM, you can set insanely huge values of virtual RAM like 40 GB or 50 GB (probably as big as your available secondary memory size), but if you've around 2-3 GB RAM, you've to set it lower and can't be that crazy.
I tried lowering and increasing Virtual memory but it didn't help.
I borrowed 1GB of RAM from a friend and now the miner runs ok.
Total memory consumption in Win 10 while mining is ~1,8GB so that's the reason why 2GB of RAM is not enough.
