Quake 4 is crashing at random for what seems to be no reason at all :( It
gives the error 'malloc failure for 1398256'.

System specs are:
Sempron 3300
1GB RAM
Geforce 6200 w/81.98 Forceware drivers
Windows XP Pro, SP1
DirectX 9.0c

Haven't made any changes in my configuration that might have caused this.
I've pasted the console log in below:
