Could the screen saver might have played a role? I wasn't in front of
the computer during the whole update so the screen saver has started
several times.

Otherwise, I've gone through the log files and found this in
/var/log/apport.log.4.gz:

Could it be related, especially the second report?

Maybe. But I had this hardware for years and never had an issue with it.
