If you are using onboard video have to tried to increase the amount of reserved ram? Do you have an external card? Maybe it can be replace or perhaps it's overheating and is in need of a cleaning. Also, do you have enough swap space, if you don't have a lot of ram, that can affect things as well. Just things to explore.
