hi i have got a problem with my PC, I have a openSUSE 13.1 with kde desktop
the problem is that the PC freezes, it happens quite often, it happens at many different times during the daily use
during boot up, boot down, by activation of firefox, reading mail, during startup and shutdown of
documents and in general after every conceivable action, it is unpredictable
I have a system log if it has any intrastate it from 2014-01 - 11,12,13,14
a crass see image
lately I’ve gotten a greater update that caused a kernel panic.
I do not have a picture of it but it looks like the picture from the Previous posts
After restarting the computer, my PC updated again, this time resulting in a fatal error as in the picture

Whenever an error occurs “randomly” as yours appear to do, I always suspect
hardware problems. Please do the following two things:
Clean the PC to ensure that the heat sinks, etc. are not clogged with dirt.
Run the memory test program from the installation medium for at least 12
hours. Until your computer passes this test, there is no reason to look for
errors in the kernel or operating system.
Do as lwfinger says.
… and don’t worry about the zypper up, that’s only means that you machines does not need thoose changes; that does not go with your machine configuration.
As for the memory, if you have extra RAM kicking around that works in your PC, switch the modules out (take the installed RAM out, replace with spare RAM that you believe is good) and see if that works.
If not, then run the 12-hr (minimum time) RAM test.

Well, in that case run the long SMART test with smartctl.

how should I understand this or is there something else i should have tried
smartctl -t short /dev/sda

=== START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===
Sending command: "Execute SMART Short self-test routine immediately in off-line mode".
Drive command "Execute SMART Short self-test routine immediately in off-line mode" successful.
Testing has begun.
Please wait 2 minutes for test to complete.
Test will complete after Thu Jan 16 11:33:06 2014
Use smartctl -X to abort test.

smartctl has help and a man page. What you did was start the short test,
and it runs while you continue using the system. After the specified
time, you have to query the disk to show you the results:
smartctl -a /dev/sda
You examine the results, then trigger the long test:
smartctl -t long /dev/sda
which will say it takes about 2 hours. After that time, query the result
as above (if the test is still running, wait more).
The test can run as you use the computer, but both the computer and the
test will run slower if you do. The computer may even not respond at times.
