Your computer is starved for RAM, this is not intended to be user upgradeable on a 2013 however upgrades are possible. If you choose to have the RAM upgraded the RAM then purchase either Crucial (buy direct) or OWC (www.macsales.com) and take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider Locator to have it installed. To see difficult it is, please look at:
