$$S(x) = frac{x^4}{3(0)!} + frac{x^5}{4(1)!}+frac{x^6}{5(2)!}+…..$$
If the first term was $$x^3$$ and the next terms were $$x^{3+i}$$ then differentiating it would have given $$x^2.e^x$$ and then it was possible to integrate it. But how to solve this one?
I'm assuming you've made a typo and you actually have $$S(x) = frac{x^4}{3(0)!} + frac{x^5}{4(1)!}+frac{x^{{color{red}6}}}{5(2)!}+ cdots.$$ Consider $P(x) = S(x)/x$. We have begin{align} P(x) &= frac{x^3}{3(0)!} + frac{x^4}{4(1)!}+ dfrac{x^5}{5(2)!} + cdots\ &=int_0^xleft(dfrac{t^2}{0!} + dfrac{t^3}{1!} + dfrac{t^4}{2!} + cdotsright){rm d}t\ &= int_0^x t^2e^t{rm d}t\ &= e^x(x^2 - 2x + 2) - 2. end{align}
Thus, $$boxed{S(x) = e^x(x^3 - 2x^2 + 2x) - 2x}.$$

Your idea is right, just let $x^3$ appear and differentiate
$$left(frac{S(x)}xright)'=left(frac{x^3}{3cdot0!}+frac{x^4}{4cdot1!}+frac{x^5}{5cdot2!}+cdotsright)'=frac{x^2}{0!}+frac{x^3}{1!}+frac{x^4}{2!}+cdots=x^2e^x.$$
Then by integration,
$$color{green}{frac{S(x)}x=(x^2-2x+2)e^x-2}$$ (the constant of integration is drawn from $left.dfrac{S(x)}xright|_{xto0}=0$).

Define $$R(x):=frac{S(x)}{x}=sum_{n=0}^{infty}frac{x^{n+3}}{(n+3)cdot n!}$$ Then we have $$R'(x)=sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{x^{n+2}}{n!}=x^2 exp(x)$$ Therefore, $$R(x)=R(0)+int_{0}^{x}R'(t),dt=int_{0}^{x}t^2 exp(t),dt$$ It follows that $$boxed{:S(x)=xcdotint_{0}^{x}t^2 exp(t),dt=exp(x)(x^3-2x^2+2x)-2x::}$$

What you have is
$$S(x) = sum_{k=0}^infty frac{x^{k+4}}{(k+3) cdot k!}$$
Divide the inside by $x$ and multiply the outside by it too:
$$S(x) = x sum_{k=0}^infty frac{x^{k+3}}{(k+3) cdot k!}$$
Now, take the derivative, assuming you can do so termwise (a similar argument to that for $e^x$ might work). Then you get
$$S'(x) = sum_{k=0}^infty frac{x^{k+3}}{(k+3) cdot k!} + x sum_{k=0}^infty frac{x^{k+2}}{k!}$$
The first sum is just $S(x)/x$, no big deal there. The second can clearly be seem to be $x^3e^x$ through a quick factorization. Thus, you get the ODE
$$S'(x) = frac{S(x)}{x} + x^3 e^x$$
What would some initial conditions be? Clearly, $S(0) = S'(0) = 0$, so let's use those.
This ODE seems fairly simple to solve, so I'll leave the remainder of the calculations up to you.
