I would like to add, this is probably a problem with the Linux kernel as
I have seen this on other systems. I have observed it so far on: Ubuntu
Live USB, ArchLinux, and Gentoo. This problem seems to only occur when
it is being compiled with the X server running. The freezes tend to be a
solid color, purple on Ubuntu and gray on Gentoo with Cinnamon.

Title:
  High load freezes ubuntu completely everytime (have to reboot)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Whenever an intensive application runs which consumes lots of memory
  or hard drive i/o, Ubuntu freezes completely. It is even impossible to
  kill the offending task. Only "solution" is then to wait for the
  application to finish, or restart PC.

  Windows doesn't have this issue as bad as Ubuntu, in that Windows is
  always somewhat responsive, and you can attempt to kill the intensive
  application to recover the system.
