Did you check to see how much RAM is actually being used? SolidWorks may give you a low memory error because it's running out of GDI objects, which isn't actually a problem. I get the error all the time on my laptop with windows 8.1 and 6 gb of RAM, but I've never had solidworks close or crash, even after the critical system resource error shows up multiple times. It seems that an update to solidworks caused these warning to show up a bunch on many computers for some reason.
