Pink LED on case with high processing C++ program

1

I have written a very intensive program in C++ that should loop on some code for a quite long time.

I can't explain why, after few minutes, the program stops working (I don't see any output) and a pink LED on my case appears. When I kill the program the LED simply vanishes.

I have Ubuntu 14.04 with i7 core. Could be an i7 kind of prevention for high temperature?

What brand/model of case? – JakeGould – 2015-07-26T20:17:45.980

2Is it the HDD LED? Maybe it's eating all your RAM and OS starts paging to hard disk. – gronostaj – 2015-07-26T20:42:27.793

(I have originally posted this suggestion as a comment and OP confirmed that it's correct)
