[denishverma]

Virual memory is - called fake memory in CPU which can be edited or modified by a user.
Just go to My Computer > Properties > Advanced Settings > Performance >Advanced > THen you will see - Virtual Memory tag.

There you can edit virtual memory and define a value of memory for your CPU.
With this - Your CPU will work frequently.

Let me know if you have any other queries.

Thank you !
