Do you have 32-bit user space? "file /bin/ls" tells for example
Using a 64-Bit kernel with 32-bit user space can create problems. I had it
once that X.org with Intel drivers tended to crash badly which was gone
after I switched to a 32-bit kernel again.
So I suggest you either use 32-bit bigmem kernel or reinstall with 64-bit.
I´d recommend the second option considering that your machine has 8 GiB.
