Problem with SKYPE?

I am using latest SKYPE program on an 8yr.old Gateway PC with XP OS. After 5
min. of use the system freezes, and must be rebooted.
What would cause this problem, and how to correct it?

Possibly not enough system memory? Possibly "virtual memory" (swap file) that
is too small? Those are the two most likely, assuming that earlier versions of
Skype worked OK... Ben Myers
