    This is an O/S issue, not a database issue and adding tablespaces has nothing to do neither with the issue nor with the solution.

    You are probably short of memory and/or short of swap space.

    Start by adding swap space, memory if you can.

    Check your Oracle memory setup, probably is too much for the memory you have in your box.

    Check which programs are eating your memory out.
