Not only Chrome...(I know I'm contradicting myself) but just sitting it has frozen since yesterday's update. I'll look to see if the older kernel(s) are under the "advanced" options. Thanks for the pointer.

Yesterday, I got an update to 15.3--KDE environment...(yes, I haven't
yet upgraded to 15.4) Download went fine. Install showed no

only resolution is the power button. FWIW, my system does take
snapshots as specified in the default installation. I have no idea
what is causing the problem. Yesterday, just turning the computer on,
and logging in would trigger a system freeze (power off required)
today, I have been able so run some applications, but running Chrome
causes a system freeze.
This is a stock system. Anything I've added has come from the
OPEN-SUES repos.
Is this a known issue?
If I should roll back to snapshot to before yesterday, should that
restore things? If that is what I should do, as I can't really count
on getting info from the system, how do I do the rollback? (I've NEVER
had to do one before)
Thank you a lot,

I'd first check Chrome. it's definitely not from SUSE (Chromium, yes;
Chrome, no). The most recent version of Chrome from the google repo
updated 18 July. I suppose its conceivable that your update conflicted
with the Chrome version you have. Try updating it.
The next place I would look is for a kernel update. The last for 15.3
was 11 July, 5.3.18-150300.59.81.1. If your system is configured to
keep more than 1 version (IMO, highly advisable), you can boot a prior
version from grub under the Advanced line to test.
