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