lbrtchx,
I have encountered your exact same error, but on a QUAD CORE machine. I overcame that problem at the time by getting the NVIDIA driver.
Now the same machine works very well with nouveau driver.
Would you mind posting output from
$ sudo lspci
$ cat /proc/meminfo
If your machine has an NVIDIA card, it might be best that you get nvidia driver. If it is via/openchrome, get an openchrome driver.
Hope this helps in some way, or guides better advice along the way.
Regards,
Antonio
