Hello, this is just to report back that disabling hyper-threading in the BIOS made the problem go away completely. I'm sorry I didn't generate a core dump but because I installed four swap partitions each with half the size of the RAM and the handbook says I needed one swap partition with at least the same size, and I don't have the time to fiddle with partitions now.
