If there is still a problem, please run KMM from the command line - 
kmymoney -n, which will open KMM without opening any file.

If it opens OK, select your file and report any error messages you get.

I'm a bit puzzled about -

While the splashscreen is visible, do you still have keyboard access to
your system.  Is there any message when the session closes?  It
suggests that whatever is happening, has an effect outside of KMM.

I assume that during those two days you refer to, your system was in
use and behaving normally?  What distro do you use, and what version of
KMM do you have, and how is it installed.
