Default Laptop crashing...

Recently while playing Guild Wars, my laptop has started crashing; first just once or twice a week, now nearly every day. It was running fine for almost three months beforehand, so I'm kinda confused; sure, my specs are a bit on the low end (512mb RAM and an ATi Radeon 9000 64mb card), but it was running perfectly fine on fairly high detail before...

It usually crashes when there are too many monsters on the screen actually doing something; for example, last time it happened when a bunch of monsters were killing each other and before that when a mob rushed me... It has happened while trying to sell things in LA, though.

Anyone know what might be wrong?

2 quick things you could do; First check the temp on your laptop...if it's hot try getting a can of canned air and flushing all the dust out, you may have to open up your laptop for this. Second check to see if you are getting memory errors. download memtest86 and run the full test.
