Public bug reported:
When browsing and RAM usages reaches 463 MB, System completely FROZEN
with excessive hard drive activity. System goes back to normal after 3
to 15 minutes.
As I write this post, 228MB out of 463MB is being used. This "Report a
bug" page is being done in a single tab.
When visiting Facebook and not playing games nor viewing videos, within
10 minutes (average), system will freeze while excessive hard drive
activity is in progress. Temporary solution has been exiting the browser
every 15 minutes, and only use one (1) tab.
When visiting Wordpress.com (my blog), browser works fine until working
with the post "box" and attempting to view my pages or posts, system
will freeze from several seconds to several minutes.
The system does not crash! 10% of the time, the browser will ask to kill
pages. Other than that, the longest time I had to wait to be able to use
the system was 45 minutes. Despite excessive hard drive activity, I had
to hold the power button down until my laptop turns off.
Alternatively, when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, logging in can take up to five
(5) minutes before I can enter 'sudo killall chromium-browser', Once I
kill the browser, system is back to normal operation (at normal speeds).
