Hi @amitrohilla07,

The issue seems to be related to memory. Since the device only has 2GB of RAM, I recommend performing memory optimization. You could follow the link here : https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Troubleshooting-Tip-How-to-optimize-memory-usage-specifically/ta-p/304981

 

If the issue still occurs after that, please post here again — we’ll continue to support you. Thanks

Bill
