After several days running, this morning it locked as soon as I changed workspaces. I noticed kswapd0 was busy long time, and that firefox had about 10 gigs of virtual memory. The disk activity led was solid blue. I couldn't find out more, the machine froze and had to be hard rebooted.
It's probably not the answer you are looking for, but I'll propose it nevertheless:
Disable your swap.
Not viable. This minute I have 5 GB of swap in use. Without swap, the system would simple not work, several programs I use would be killed.
[1] My previous laptop had 4 GB RAM, this one 16 GB - both had a full server stack (LAMP, Dovecot etc.) + KDE running
But I have only 8. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
