Run top to see if cpu or ram are maxxed out.

Do you have many tabs open? They can suck up ram.
Are pages running a lot of javascript? That can suck up cpu. (Anecdotal: a
friend fixed an overheating problem by installing noscript.)

My computer starts to get like that when I get to around 1.5 - 1.6GB used
out of 2GB total. If I go past 1.7 I'm screwed.
