Q: Frequent kernel panics late 2008 unibody Macbook

I've been having regular kernel panics on my late 2008 unibody Macbook.  I usually reset the PRAM and sometimes it comes back, but if it gets too frequent, I open it up and re-seat the memory, and that usually does the trick.  I also took out one of my memory sticks (thinking it's a hardware issue where the memory cards are just not sitting properly anymore).  So right now I'm running with 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory (1 stick, the other one left out).  I still get kernel panics especially using Chrome (see below), but also when using Firefox and sometimes not using any browser and the log just says "BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel panic" (or something like that).  I can't afford a new computer so any help would be appreciated!
