Take a look in the logs, or run `sudo dmesg` and look for OOM (out of memory). By default, the kernel runs a process called the OOM Killer which kills processes that are eating too much memory. You can change the behavior with sysctl settings. These articles might be of help: https://sysctl-explorer.net/vm/ https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/#OOM_killer -dsr-
