Computer freezing on almost full RAM

SWAP needs to be used before. Try to set the minimun free RAM values to a 5-6% of the full memory by core.

sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=121268 6% of 8GB multiplied by 4 cores

Also:

sysctl -w vm.swappiness=5 Values from 0 to 100, being 0 only using SWAP if absolutely necessary.

Note: Write this changes in /etc/sysctl.conf to make them permanent.
