Sounds like you have bad memory, or you've misconfigured your hardware (RAM
timings, overclocked CPU, etc.) Read the Sig-11 FAQ for more details
possible causes, and some info on how to eliminate possibilities.
On KDE, I'd guess you're either imagining the correlation, or you're seeing it
because loading KDE uses more memory/processing power than just whatever
non-KDE stuff you use alone. Push a flakey system harder, and you're more
likely to see how flakey it is ;)
Good luck. I've had a few really nasty issues that took me forever to figure
out. Not fun :/
