1 How much RAM do you have? With all those windows and tabs open im guessing
2 your running out of RAM which may be causing the crashes, do you have a swap
3 file? If so, how big is it and have you tried increasing its size?
4
5 A big swap file may help, although dont expect your system to be responsive
6 :)
7
8 Alternatively, do you get the crashes with fewer windows and tabs open?
