Bowtie2 aligner error

I am running bowtie2 aligner imported from public apps to align RNAseq data (imported TCGA files) to indexed B37 (imported from common reference files) but again and again I am getting following error:

Error
This task ran into a problem during execution and did not finish.

Can anybody suggest what is going wrong? I searched about error 137 but didn't find proper informaiton. Someone has suggested that 137 indicates that process is killed by some other process or by someone, but I don't understand why would that happen?

Thanking you
