4gb is way too small
mailbox role requirement is 8gb minimum (exchange 2013) so not surprised you are getting those errors
how many mailboxes? what version of exchange?
i would start by increasing the memory to 8gb and go from there
if you still have errors, increase to 16gb though again, sizing partially depends on number of mailboxes
