But resource monitor shows: cpu1 & cpu 2 both running at about 30%, with the system idle and only resource monitor running. Memory shows 53% of 1.25gb used. Swap not used at all, 8 gb. If I widen the System Monitor display on the processes page an inch or so, debian crashes. Could this be a cpu issue?
