Because when I disabled Compiz the crashes stopped.....
The system is using a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2 mainboard, AMD Dual core
CPU (2.80ghz I think its a 5400+ model), 2GB of quality RAM. I am
using the onboard graphics with the driver from the ATI "community
repository" I tried to run the graphics at default speed (500mhz) and
also at 700mhz (it goes up to 2ghz) and that does not make any
difference. I think the graphics RAM is set to 512mb but either way
the minimum is 128mb which should be enough? Either way I would expect
just poor performance, not crashing, if these settings were not set
optimally.
What I am saying about runlevel 3 is when the system crashes I can
still SSH in to it. If I issue the command 'init 3' I can still see
KDE crashed on the screen... it never goes away.
Right now I can login to KDE locally and it it will probably crash
within the first 30 sec.
Also for some reason resizing windows is painfully slow when compiz is
enabled. Sometimes it will crash when resizing windows, too.

I setup compiz which made the system randomly crash.
So I try to disable it via the instructions on the openSUSE page and that does not even work, compiz is still enabled. I tried instead to go to the compiz program in KDE (I can't tell you the name because I can't make the system boot and not crash... I can ssh in but the GUI is totally crashed... 'init 3' does not bring the system to text-only mode, either) and that actually disabled it. But after I shut off the machine and turned it back on the next day the effects are re-enabled again and the machine crashes itself within 30 sec of log in.\
1) Why does compiz make the system unstable? 2) How to disable compiz? (or even better how to keep it on without crashes?)
There is no reason for Compiz to be running in runlvl 3 as there is no Window Manager loaded, it shouldn't actually start.
Give specs of your system. Compiz runs beautifully on every system I've tried it on.
How are you really determining that "Compiz" is the one causing system instability (as you say) .
