Upon bootup run:  free -m

Do you see any space listed for a swap?  Ie:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           124        119          4          0          4         53
-/+ buffers/cache:         62         61
Swap:          127         13        113


If you have no swap, and you consume your total physical memory, you'll
likely see such things happen.
