Remove the following parameter in your tm1s.cfg file:
LockPagesInMemory=T
or set it to
LockPagesInMemory=F
Then save the tm1s.cfg file
Update all tm1s.cfg file you have on your TM1 server.

Execute SaveAllData from inside TM1 Architect (to ensure no data is lost).
Restart the TM1 services from Windows services (to pickup the change in the tm1s.cfg file).

Monitor the TM1 server during heavy load to see if issue is solved.

More Information:
LockPagesInMemory=T locks the TM1 data in memory and take away system resources from the windows system to increase performance of TM1. But the Windows system will get lack of resources on a heavy used TM1 server, and therefore gradual stop the system from working.
