Tom proposed the following answer:
Yep, that could well be the problem.  The contents of ram gets copied
into the linux-swap partition on your hard-drive and then when the
machine tries to startup again it tries to get everything back from
linux-swap.  As the swap isn't large enough to contain all of the ram
then it seems you're running into trouble when a lot of your ram is
actively being used. Linux-swap should be between twice ram and ram,
below that lower limit you're going to face problems like this.

If you go up to the top taskbar and click on

System - Administration

can you see an item "Partition Editor", if not then keep going down to
Synaptic Package Manager and use that to find and install Gparted.  If
it is there please let us know the information it gives in the bottom
pane, so that we can see which partition to resize smaller in order to
give linxu-swap more room.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
