Running XP SP3, if I have a few or only one inocuous program open and minimized like Outlook Express, and the screen saver comes on and runs for a few hours, it will then put up a window and say it is out of Memory. There are only 10 or so photos checked on my Webshots program as the screensaver. After this the computer practically freezes up. Only way to close the window is by clicking Enter. On the desktop, if I try to open a program, none of them will open. I can go to Task Manager, and sometimes it works to shut down and sometimes not.

I have run MalwareBytes, and Microsoft Security Essentials with 0 results.

I then turn off the computer, wait 30 seconds and reboot and it is fine until I stop using it and let it go to the screen saver.
