Hi all,
I was having a terrible problem OOM problem with kernel 4.4.76 and my CPU. However, it disappeared with kernel 4.4.77.
When I deleted the bottom panel, right-clicked on the desktop and added the "Default openSUSE Panel" the plasmashell invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x14280ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=0, order=0, oom_score_adj=0
After several minutes dmesg showed that I was out of memory. Ref: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046500
This only happened with kernel 4.4.76x.
Will the final GA of 42.3 have kernel 4.4.77?
The kernel version difference might be a red herring.
If you're using an old Intel graphics chip, could you try to uninstall drm-kmp-default package once, reboot and retest?

I'm not sure what old Intel graphics relates to. I have an "Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz" and after updating to 42.3 from 42.2 I have frequent intermittent gpu hangs unless I boot with nomodeset. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1050256
Unfortunately Intel tend to leave bugs for their old chips while developing for the newer chips. On Leap 42.3, we upgraded the kernel graphics stack to 4.9.x with a few backported fixes, but it seems problematic on some old chips.
Luckily, we did upgrade via drm-kmp, so you can easily back to Leap 42.2 state just by uninstalling drm-kmp-* package. (This was the intention by providing via kmp, too.)
So try to uninstall it and retest. If this fixes your problem, you can do "zypper al drm-kmp-default" not to install this any longer.
