Did you replace the original memory with the new, single
module?  If not, then is your swap configured and mounted

In any event, it sounds to me like you are running out of memory,
unless the logs are showing a crash of some type.  I'm running
a 1.6 beta kernel, btw, and it has been fine; I'm sure the
official release is fine, too.
