I see, thank you for your detailed answer.
In fact yesterday I already added the sysctl.panic=0 as you said in /etc, so as you are guessing it must be some software needing a lot of ram and the swap is not enoug either, since it hanged again.
This laptop only supports this much ram, cannot add anymore. I will try and give more swap for the crash dump to see what happens. But also, I remember reading in the faqs or man pages that dumps are written in to /var, am I right? My /var partition is 300. Anyway I'll try and give more swap and see what happens.
The only thing I added lately is cupsd starting on boot, and I also have often postgresql server running. Could it be those?
I'm of course planning to by a new laptop, but first I want to become proficient with openbsd, so I won't need to mess around with a brand new machine.
I'm running memtest now and everything seems fine with ram.
