Quickly Raising Rem Memory, then Crash

In the last 2 weeks, I've had a problem with Dreamweaver 3 times. I'll be
working in it like normal, then all of a sudden it will start to become
unresponsive. Eventually, the rest of the PC will also become unresponsive,
even Task Manager. The only solution is to kill Dreamweaver and loose all my
changes, or wait and let it crash on its own.

Before this problem occurs, Dreamweaver (version 9.0 Build 3481) usually uses
around 300-500MB of my 2GB of ram. Then the CPU usage goes to 50% (one of the
two cores goes to 100%), and the RAM usage steadily increases over the course
of about 15 minutes, up to around 1.7GB. It hangs there for about 5 minutes
before crashing, spinning the hard drive constantly too (maybe using virtual
memory).

I have not noticed this with any other programs, even Adobe ones in CS3 Web.
Only Dreamweaver.

I am on an Dell Inspiron Win XP laptop with 2GB ram. I'm using 50GB of my
120GB hard drive. It's Dreamweaver as it came with CS3 Web Premium, updated
to . I also run 4 popular anti-virus/malware programs on a regular basis - no
issues.

I've also set my virtual memory as suggested by other tech notes here on
Adobe's site, so that should not be the issue.

It seems like a bug in Dreamweaver, like it's looking for something on the
computer but can't find it. Anyone know of a solution/patch or has anyone seen
this behavior before?

Sounds like your laptop is overheating how long has it been since the dust
has been removed?

I don't think it's dust in my laptop since it only happens with Dreamweaver and not other programs or Adobe products. The lappy is 2 years old.
