The notebook has Intel integrated video, 8 GB of memory and 4.88 GB swap.
Before the last lockup, swap was around 4 G. I have been running the system since this morning. Even with Windows 10 running in VirtualBox, swap is still at 0. Prior to failing, there is a lot of disk activity, but I have no idea what's causing it or swap to be used.
It sounds like you have a misbehaving app with a memory leak that is slowly malloc'ing your system to death.
Can you look at top and see if one proc has a virtual memory requirement that is off-scale high?
Start "top" in a terminal, then press "M" to sort by memory. Or "f" to choose fields, select "RES", press "sq". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
