KDE crashes unpredictably on Asus 2400B

Hi all,
on the Pentium version of an Asus 2400 I experience KDE crashes after an
unpredictable period of time. Without any apparent cause, the computer
freezes completely, not even answering to pings over LAN. The system fan
speeds up to maximum, higher than it does when compiling the kernel several
times. This usually happens no earlier then after about half an hour,
sometimes after one or two hours, with or without user activity. Screensavers
are disabled.
I am using Ralph Nolden's Woody backport of KDE3.1 and XFree4.2 from Sid, as
4.1 doesn't have a suitable display driver. The same thing happened with a
XFree4.3 backport and different minor versions of the KDE3 packages. It has
not happened while kdm was displaying a login, or with twm at all.
In the logs under /var/log I didn't find anything unusual after such a crash.
Main memory seems to be working well enough that memtester86 doesn't find any
fault with it after a night. The kernel compiles fine several times in a row,
so nothing blatant seems to be wrong with the hardware.
I am a bit lost as to what I can try next. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jan
