You have 4 Gb of RAM, but it's typical that Windows only provides
about half to Stata. You need more RAM, i.e. a hardware change, to run
precisely this model. Otherwise you try using fewer groups or shutting
other applications (which probably won't make much difference).

Could you please help me understand what is causing the problem here, and how to reslve it? I presume it is not related to the number of observations or variables, but rather caused by the way FGLS works.
