Hello, After 7 days uptime without reboot I was logged in to my KDE on 15.1 without any problem, but this morning the screen froze again for a while (like 30 seconds), then KDE graphics was restarted without the desktop effects. I logged out. The "greeting screen" (where I can input the password) was completely scrambled. I still could enter the pwd and hit enter. After displaying the desktop it crashed again immediately. I rebooted. Again the greeting screen was scrambled AND frozen. I couldn't enter pwd. But after a while (a minute?) it accepted the password and lead me to the desktop. Which froze after 5 minutes... Now, after a new reboot, again with scrambled but responsive greeting page, the desktop works normal since 20 minutes. It is /really/ strange. It happens immediately, after some minutes, some hours or some days. No pattern I could see. For what can I search? Am 21.08.19 um 11:59 schrieb Daniel Bauer:

Now, this system seems not to be able to handle my Nvidia GeForce GTX 460. It freezes all the time. If it doesn't freeze the desktop effects get switched off due to "restart of graphics". When I log out and in, the desktop icons spread somehow over the screen and I have to reorder them - each and every time. Bug reports are not seen, obviously.
Could be that this was the solution:
The last thing I did was changing KDE system settings -> display -> compositor, "Ausgabemodul" from OpenGL 2.0 to 3.1.
Since that change the computer was up and running with no problems, using all kind of programs, I tried to go to the max with many firefox windows open, plus digikam, plus gimp with up to 8 windows, each containing an approx. 30 MB image file, finally open win 10 in virtualbox and at the same time using thunderbird, firefox and VLC with a video on the OS host... All perfect!
As a new nvidia driver came with the updates, before installing it, I changed back to OpenGL 2.0 and after logout/in the desktop was completely unresponsive (couldn't click an icon, they were displayed slightly blurred). Didn't go into more tests, as it is obvious that OpenGL 2.0 isn't liked by my system.
Now I updated to the new nvidia driver, rebooted, and the system is now running since 2 and half an hour. Hopefully this change from OpenGL 2 to 3.1 was the solution. I keep the finger crossed :-)
Thanks again for your input (and for tolerating my angry, frustrated original post)
