Add more memory or configure the instance to use more.

It's in sp_configure or right click the server and go to properties. If you've got more than one instance on a server, each should be configured with a max value and perhaps even a min value. The max is important so that it doesn't start the other instance or the OS.

For instance, I have a 48GB system with two instance. We give 8GB to the OS, and then each instance is configured for 20GB for max memory.
