Since your problem appears to be software related, you should use strace,
running konqueror from the command line. That may give you some hints what
Konq. is doing that is bringing down your system.
It's very possible that Konq. is accessing hardware through a buggy driver.
That would cause a system crash. Otherwise, if all the processes are
userspace, I can't see how it would crash the kernel.
