If the Chromebook becomes slow or unresponsive, and the He's
Dead, Jim! error message appears, the system could be running

NOTE: If you terminated the process using Google
Chrome's Task Manager, the system's task manager, or
with a command line tool, this message will appear as

continue. If the message continues to appear, try closing
inactive tabs or other programs to free up more memory.
2. If issue persists, please see He's Dead, Jim! from Google
