Keeps crashing when trying to bake?

Support Particles and Physics Simulations

Hi,
I’ve been following a tutorial by Andrew Price from 3D World magazine, everything was quite hunky-dory until I try and bake the simulation when Blender just crashes and closes the application?
Can anyone give me any pointers here, the tutorial can be found here : http://www.3dworldmag.com/2012/01/07/create-an-energetic-fire-and-water-scene-in-blender/

many thanks in adavance

You may be running out of memory. Turn down the settings and try baking again.
