How to solve KERNEL32.DLL problem in Windows 95 in DOSBox?

I decided to collect a collection of old Windows. I decided to emulate their work through DOSBox (I liked it too much). Ran MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, and proceeded to 95. Installed on DOSBox settings with 512 MB of RAM. After installation, an error began to appear:
Title: Explorer.

The program has performed an illegal operation and will be closed.

Quit all other programs and restart your computer. If the error would appear in (text breaks)

Text when the Details button is pressed:
The EXPLORER program caused a page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at address 0137:bff81592.

And everything lags, slows down. ScanDisk does not help (By the way, it miraculously started for me). And if you don't change from cputype=auto to cputype=pentium_slow and from cycles=auto to cycles=max in the DOSBox settings. Then the whole screw turns into ONE BIG GRAPHIC ARTIFACT. Everything crumbles, falls, flies, lags, slows down. Horror! And what to do - I do not understand. Until recently, I didn’t want to climb into Habr Q&A, but I had to ... I downloaded Russian 95B (OSR 2) from winworldpc.com, I didn’t even want to install it with old-dos.ru. Oh yes - I also downloaded MS-DOS 6.22 from there and installed it on DOSBox, and already installed Windows 95B from it, dropping the contents of the ISO file into the SETUP folder and running SETUP.EXE (Maybe this information will help). Purely for the sake of convenience.

Ask! If you know the answer - do not be silent! Answer! Even if you're not sure. Win'du can be rearranged, and the ability to check will not be superfluous. In the meantime, I will install Windows 98, 1.X, 2.X, ME, etc.

Windows 95 will fail to boot if you have more than around 480MB of memory.
