  Solved! I'm just answering this question in case someone has the same issue...
  
  **Short Story:**
  
  1. **Update your graphics card drivers. (All of them!)**
  2. **If you have more than 1 card be sure the stronger one handles adobe premiere.**
  
  **Long Story:**
  
  My laptop has 2 graphic cards
  
  1. Intel HD Graphics
  2. NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
  
  First I updated the driver of Intel HD graphics by uninstalling it from Device Manager (which is a bad idea as the screen disappears any way) then restarted my computer. Than Windows found the driver, installed it Restart number 2.
  
  Now I tried Elements, great it worked! But... consuming 7.5 GB of RAM!!! (Virtual and Physical combined)
  
  This time I don't know why, I just had to try it, I updated my NVIDIA driver (which had 2 updates) and from NVIDIA console I marked Adobe Premiere Elements.exe to use the NVIDIA graphics card.
  
  Than I tried it and Elements worked perfectly...
