The crash reports are OOM (out of memory) reports where not enough contiguous free memory is available.

Do you let Windows handle the Page file automatically or have you set a fixed size for the Windows Page File ?
- Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings
If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the automatic setting and let Windows handle the page file automatically.
Changed the page file size to be managed automatically. That's all well and good, but I wonder why the problem recently started happening.
Maybe you are running other software that uses a lot of memory. You can possibly check this in the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+ESC).
