The system freezes when RAM gets completely full. By using MATLAB, I
can get all 8GB RAM of my laptop full and it immediately freezes,
needing restart using the hardware button. Other people have
reported the bug at since 2007. It seems that only the 64-bit
version is affected and people have reported that enabling DMA in
BIOS settings solve the problem. However, my laptop lacks such an
option in the BIOS settings, so I am unable to test it. More
