When you say it crashes...does it flatline, screen freezes and makes this horrible loud pitchnoise, or does it shut off, black screen complete reboot? I could tell you what's the problem if you can specify which crash

a complete reboot is often - often -- associated with hardware, especially memory problems (whereas a crash to desktop or lock up is more often associated with drivers).
With 1gb of ram, remove a stick of ram and see if the error repeats. If so, remove the other stick and replace the removed ram.
See if it repeats.
