There was something very similar to this awhile back. I have not tried any
newer nVidia driver since this came up, and I experienced the same problem
(kde freezing upon startup, not even drawing the full splash properly)

The going theory is that it was a conflict between nVidia cards, and some
advanced feature the driver was trying to do with certain hardware
combinations.

Here are some links to various bug descriptions. If anyone might know
different information, an update is appreciated:
