Apparently it's a mobile Broadwell without AVX or AVX2,
which might be assumed present in gcc as compiled,
requiring a custom gcc build to run on that cpu.

Most common reason appears to be lack of available memory,
requiring 2GB to run comfortably. Allocating a few GB of
paging space (recommend 2x ram) to Windows can allow heavy
crunchers with large data requirements to run more comfortably.
