I will try to disable the 19th pin from the HDMI cable. Allthough I doubt it is the solution because the crash happened just as well without any HDMI cables attached.

I'll echo scott967's experience... I am seeing similar behavior on Windows 8.1 x64 with Kodi 16.0, with just a single display (TV). When the TV is turned off and then turned back on hours later, Kodi is in screensaving mode (as expected). When I wake it up via keyboard, the UI renders but looks incomplete - and the UI is very slow to respond, every command takes 30-40 seconds to process. The solution seems to be to exit the app and then restart it. I only started experiencing this after I upgraded from 15.2 to 16.0.

I"ve the same problems here as well. (since kodi 16+)
My setup is plainsimple, a asus miniboard filled with an i5-3570k, 8 gig of mem and some hd space and using the i5's gpu abilities.
I connect through HDMI directly to my TV.
When i start kodi all goes fine, when i come back the next morning, it does react but as described my visual movement comes must later then my sound.
And it can take long to get a first responds, sometimes even 30 secs or more.
Last week i had another problem in my system which actually might help in seeking the villain. My cpu-fan wore down at night, i came back in the morning and found a hot cpu with kodi open. After trying to fix my fan and trying more test i finally replaced my fan, but stayed monitoring my system for several days to get a safe feeling about my system again. Now the thing ....
Kodi idle directly after start for an hour or more, cpu temperature 34 celcius. When i come back next day, same kodi not have done anything user controlled. temperature 60 celcius. BUT if i look to the cpu usage it's minimum like say nothing at all. Though my cpu (as all in the intel iX series) has a gpu. As i can check what my cpu is doing but not my gpu. I Expect overtime on the gpu side.
[edit]The problem also occurs when kodi has been idle on the background for a couple of hours when i've playing some browsergames.
Ergo pc never lost contact with the tv, nor did the tv ever went into blackscreen/hibernate.

I will also jump onto this discussion having the same issues. The problem only arose after moving from 15.2 to 16.0/16.1-RC1. The minor difference I have is that when Kodi is frozen, rss has stopped and that no keyboard or mouse activity will wake it up. Not related to any overnight event as it only takes an hour or two of the HTPC being idle for the freeze-up to occur when Kodi is active on the HTPC but the TV is active on another Input source as well (Satellite for example). I have disabled all screen saving events in order to rule out as a cause and do not allow my HTPC to Sleep or Hibernate (ever).
HTPC is Windows 10 Pro 64 bit with Up-to-date patches running in Dual Monitor Mode with identical 1080p X 1920 resolutions on NVIDIA GeForce GT630 DirectX v12. Setup is similar to most reporting here with 1 caveat: DVI to HDMI connection to desktop monitor; HDMI connection to Yamaha Network Receiver - switched over single HDMI connection to Samsung UHD 3D TV (all current year hardware).
