This sounds awfully like a hardware problem; see section 6.6 of the
FAQ for more details.

I don't think the amount of RAM is the problem here, but it's hard to
tell without seeing numbers.  Try using the System Monitor tool
(START->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Monitor) during
compilation, and look at the amount of memory it reports as free
immediately after cc1plus.exe finishes; then post here the numbers.

It would also help if you post here the complete message printed when
the compiler crashes or reports the ICE.
