Public bug reported: After selecting the largest cursor in accessibility settings, the whole system froze. I had to use Magic SysRq to reboot the system. After reboot, the login screen was OK but after logging in it would immediately freeze again.
Workaround: from login screen, switch to a VT with Ctrl-F2, log in and run dconf reset /org/gnome/desktop/interface/cursor-size I was playing with the cursor size because I see different cursor sizes in different apps and it was annoying me.
