php artisan commands: Out of memory

I get the following error messages after waiting about ~10 sec when using the following laravel command (The out of memory error appears in any other php artisan command aswell):

php artisan make:controller CardController --resource

What can go wrong? I already used laravel before and everything worked fine.

c:\xampp\htdocs\my-server>php artisan make:controller CardController --resource

VirtualAlloc() failed: [0x00000008] Not enough storage is available to process this command.
