What software do you use for a "lightweight node"? Which version? Any error messages or log files you can share?

Which lightweight node are you using? Are you using Electrum?
Did you try to re-install the software?(Don't forget to copy the wallet file before re-installing)

No im not using windows server/bitcoin core on windows. Im using rasbian jessie and raspnode (core newest version) -Its loading blockchain, when error appears. :( Its raspberry 2 lightweight node.

Raspnode is NOT A LIGHTWEIGHT node. The raspberry pi 2 is a lightweight server, but the server software itself is still Bitcoin Core so it is not lightweight.

We need more information. What are the commands you are using to start it? How are you connected to the node?

And iirc, doesn't that only have 1GB of RAM?

In the past I have ran bitcoin core on a server with 1GB of ram so I think its not a problem.
@OP: Was the node working for you in the past?

In the past the memory requirements have increased due to the amount of transactions that we have been having. Recent spam attacks have not been helping at all.

That would not explain problem when starting though. Depending on the config (low db cache, no wallet, etc.) a node can hold ~4-5k TX without going over 1GB of ram.

If you are running the same code as you were in the past with no problems, then sure.  If you are running 0.11.2, it is not the same as running 0.3.24, for example. 

Something to check.
