Nouveau makes it worse. When I start Android Studio, Firefox immediately grays 
out, AS stops loading before it even opens a window. Then the computer remains 
frozen, until I stop java processes in  a shell. 
Also, I don't see how a graphics issue can make CPU2 or CPU3 hang, but never 
one of the other CPUs. 

It can't be just a bug in Android Studio, because AS should not be
capable of hanging up my computer. Also, it can't be just a bug in
Ubuntu or in the bios or cpu, because it only happens with Android
Studio (except once in gedit and once in a shell). I suspect AS does
something other software doesn't do, which triggers a glitch elsewhere.

Yesterday night, I ran Prime95 software to calculate Mersenne prime numbers. 
This kept my cpus at 500% with low priority processes. All software would still 
run normally, not slower, but AS wouldn't run. It pushed prime to using over 
600%, which is weird, and it wouldn't start, just hang until killed. 
I tried Prime95 because they found a glitch in Intel Skylake cpus. My cpu is 
5th generation, not Skylake.
