Søren Holm, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/36456/Intel-Server-
Board-S5520UR an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is
available (64;64;26;1.12). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Critical => High

Title:
  kswapd pulls server down every 2 weeks.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  in 15.04 even when having plenty of RAM and swap kswpd uses lots of
  CPU and might bring the machine down to a crawl making is unable to
  access it over the network.

  I say "might", because it's only a very clear feeling that I have. I
  do not know it for sure.

  Anyway the fact is that I have two server that once every 2 week ends
  up totally unaccessible from the network. They can be pinged though.
  Logging in locally takes a long time. Rebooting them locally takes a
  long time. They have absolutely no noticeable disk IO when in this
  stalled state.
