Possible journalctl entries of crash

Description of problem:

After starting a new Gnome session, ~ 5 minutes later the session crashes and the TTY appears. The Gnome session itself is still running and one could switch back to it by Alt-F2. After restarting Gnome (Alt-F2 -> “r”) everything’s back to normal and the crash does not appear again. So perhaps only new sessions are affected.

Bug might be already fixed upstream. See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764898

According to the above mentioned bug report, only Hardware with Nvidia Graphics controller + nvidia kernel modules are affected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.20.2

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a new Gnome session.
2. Wait for some minutes.

Actual results:

Session crashes and TTY is shown.

Expected results:

Gnome session stays up and running.

Additional info:

Fedora 24 beta
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Kmod nvidia version 358.16
Kernel version 4.5.5-300.fc24.x86_64

The crash did not appear under Fedora 23.

I am seeing this behavior as well.

Fedora 24

Experiencing the same problem. After 5 minutes the desktop disappears and TTY is showing. Alt-F2 does restore the desktop but I have to refresh the background most of the time because it is distorted. 
I enclose the journalctl output of the sec the desktop fails. Looks like nVidia problem to me.
