it sounds like you need more than i gig of ram, i use 8 gig and have no problems.

Maybe upgrade your ram.

Might be a memory leak.

yes it will help, because 1 meg of ram is just enough to run windows and a couple of apps before it crashes, so upgrading your ram would give you less chances of crashing, min you should upgrade is 4 GB - max 8 GB.
