$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 17.04
Release: 17.04

$ uname -a
Linux Home 4.10.0-21-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 28 16:14:22 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 4.10.0-21.23-generic 4.10.11

Right after opening a new tab in Chrome, Chrome process peaked to 188%, then the system became totally unresponsive: neither virtual terminals nor magic keys were working. I could not but switch power off.

This comes from kern.log:
