SL crashes my computer

I can play for maybe 20-30 min at a time, but SL will always crash my computer. I really don't think it's overheating or anything, and I'm almost positive my computer's good enough to run it. (I have all settings set as low as possible BTW) Here's some of my computers specs:

ATI Mobility Radeon x600 SE
Pentium M 2.0 GHz
120 gb hard drive
1 gig of Ram

So I'd appreciate any tips that might let me play.

Make sure that you have the latest video drivers installed. For ATI video cards such as yours, Omega Drivers (http://www.omegadrivers.net) are highly recommended.

Try Optimizing your system.

Sometimes crashes can be do to prolonged hang time for Metaverses and MMORPg.

Give this free program a shot. its call Diskkeeper.. you can get it at http://remotepclabs.com
as a free download.

Fixes all kinds of things, not just Disk Defragmentation. I recommend running it every month.
