Well you've got 10GB of swap, so while the system may get dog slow, desktop still shouldn't crash. Gnome has a work around to deal with blacklisted or less capable video hardware. It's slower and takes up more memory, but again it still shouldn't crash. So I'm suggesting that's a bug that may already be fixed by upgrading. Or it might take some searching in bugzilla to find it and possibly a work around. Or worse case it's unique to your hardware in which case it'd be good to file a bug.
