Story:
I was running very stable on 17.0 Linux mint and on an earlier version of KODI. OS Drive had a catastrophic failure (not even recognized by bios anymore) so replaced with a new drive and built from scratch with latest and greatest OS and KODI.

Now the screen freezes up randomly and the sound continues playing. I can't get break out except by SSH'ing into the system and issuing a sudo reboot 0. Killing the kodi.bin does nothing.

Please let me know if you have any ideas, any help would be appreciated. I have included hardware, OS info, debug logs, dmesg and compositor configuration.

Hardware:
ASUS AT5IONT-I BGA 559 NM10 SATA 3 Gb/s HDMI Intel NM10 Mini ITX DDR3 800 BGA 559 Motherboard
OCZ Technology 60 GB Agility 3 SATA III Solid State Drive AGT3-25SAT3-60G
2 of Kingston ValueRAM 2GB 800MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL6 SODIMM Notebook Memory
Antec Mini ITX Case ISK300-65 (not that this one really matters)

OS:
Linux mint 17.2 XFCE ( Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, kernel: Linux x86 64-bit version 3.16.0-38-generic)
Compton compositor used this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2144468

kodi:
Kodi (15.1 Git:d496682). Platform: Linux x86 64-bit
Kodi compiled Aug 16 2015 by GCC 4.8.4 for Linux x86 64-bit version 3.13.11 (199947)

Looking through the forums more I think this might be the problem in my kodi.log:
21:52:05 T:140719494678464 NOTICE: GL_RENDERER = Gallium 0.4 on NVA8

Mint usually prompts for proprietary driver selection on install...not any more, so I f'd up. Got the proprietary drivers going:

00:03:18 T:140605700319168 NOTICE: GL_VENDOR = NVIDIA Corporation
00:03:18 T:140605700319168 NOTICE: GL_RENDERER = ION/PCIe/SSE2

00:03:18 T:140605700319168 NOTICE: GL_GPU_MEMORY_INFO_DEDICATED_VIDMEM_NVX = 524288

so far looks to be stable....sorry for wasting everyone's time...hopefully this helps someone else later. Will open another thread if this instability comes back.

You're absolutely right.

21:52:05 T:140719494678464 NOTICE: GL_VENDOR = nouveau
21:52:05 T:140719494678464 NOTICE: GL_RENDERER = Gallium 0.4 on NVA8

Don't use nouveau drivers, and you already changed it . So instability shouldn't come back.
