It just (started) to happen again, I started 2 memory-demanding programs
(each using 2GiB memory approx.), I do however have 8GiB memory
installed.
The system froze for 2 Minutes (or so), no mouse cursor, sound stopped,
sporadic hard disk activity.
Afterwards (from top):
13546 tbfg 20 0 906m 10m 3184 R 79,5 0,1 1:24.37 gnome-settings-
15316 tbfg 20 0 405m 129m 844 R 27,9 1,6 0:23.68 dconf-service
gnome-settings-daemon and dconf-service started to use (combined) 100%
CPU usage and both started to eat up memory.
dmesg only shows:
