Alert: A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file.

Dear Experts

Please can someone assist me. I keep receiving these alerts from SCOM.

The server is virtualized running Windows 20089 R2 std with 4GB static memory assigned.

I have attached my page file settings.


Here is the alert I keep receiving:
