Asked by Dan Welch

Desktop freezes / reboots frequently. Error can be forced by using any thumbnail software (eg: desktop background chooser, gwenview). No entries into system log.

Try deleting the thumbnails folder, which is in the home folder, called .thumbnails. You will have to show hidden folders to see this folder.
