2 Months ago, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 in my PC. I never knew what was swap memory and I gave 1.5 GB for Swap Partition but I read in an Article for a PC with 2GB ram and 100GB+ Hard disk, We should allocate 2GB for swap. Now I realize why PC crashes often. How can i increase my swap memory now?

Does it really crash because of swap space? Did you see the memory usage go up and see it crash? I mean, it could crash for a lot of reasons.

You can either increase the swap partition size with a tool like gparted, probably only from a live cd though. Or you can create a swap file.
