stick with the KDE!

Sounds like a RAM problem, run memtest on your machine.
What kinda of CPU do you have and how old is it?

....and , to use your PC., if possible tune down the clockspeed in the BIOS.

egag

Reboots will sometimes occur due to overheating (thus the above mention of clock speed). You might check to make sure your case is clean and the fans are working good. in addition to the above mentions.

As they said make sure your fan's are clean because if you cpu is to hot it will just reboot now as far as ram if it is bad enought then you willl get a kernel panic error so i would check your case!
