PowerBi Crashing and slow

I have a PowerBi set up with 47 queries of which around 30 of these are pulling data from excel spreadsheets located on a OneDrive, I cannot refresh or edit queries without the PowerBi crashing which I imagine is due to having so many queries. I am running PowerBi 64 bit and have 8gb ram (which is being maxed out).

Is there anyway to optimise this? Each of the excel spreadsheets are around 6 columns, 200 rows and the size of the actual PowerBi is only 1.5mb.

While you wait for experts to answers. Just check you have virtual memory allocated on your system. Try that if it can be the same size as RAM.
