It's an 8 CPU, 16GB RAM box with swap space configured to 24 GB.
I could see windows Resource-Exhaustion Detector errors in event viewer saying - " Windows successfully diagnosed a low
virtualmemory condition." around the time when postgreSQL crashed. Can this cause the crash?
shared_buffers = 32MB
It's a 64 bit box.

After some googling I'm seeing some hints that you may have
overcommitted virtual memory. How much memory do you have and what's
shared buffers set to? Is this 32/64 bit?
