System crashes on high mem usage

Steps to reproduce
Open you fav browser
Open a Youtube video and 4 tabs of google docs
Check system monitor for ram usage
Wow. 98.8% and only 10% swap used???
Open one more tab
System crash, have to reboot by holding power button

Expected result
The memory is freed by swapping more files onto my swap partition

Tested bug on
