It happened again and I tried what you suggested. But there were too many modules loaded and I never got any to unload (trying sudo rmmod always gave an error, saying that the module was being used). But I got the idea of using iotop and noticed there was a thing called kswapd0 running. What I read online stated that it was something agnostic to processes any and all processes could be using it at the same time, so I don't know how to kill it. I suppose it is something unnecessary that is launched to do some kind of "indexing" when the computer is left unused for some time (maybe to try and make it faster when you need it) but it is not being properly stopped when I start using the pc again.
So... how to kill this kswaspd0??
