Thanks for the reply. I have been holding out whilst I have been running some more tests to ensure the problem has been resolved. After trying hard to ensure it wasn't a hardware problem I may have to hang my head in shame and attibute this one to hardware. After replacing the power supply, ram, a couple of power leads and a couple of fans the problem is no longer appearing. In the end the issue may have been a compination of a poor power supply, an overheating graphics card and a shonky power lead. Apart from that the system was fine :) I've had this system for a while and it had been running fine. However it has obviously aged faster than I have. I've now successfully run a build of the kernel, a build of KDE and a dump of the file system at the same time for a couple of days. I'm going to retry in current a little later. If there is any issue in current I'll submit a core dump. Kind regards, Geoff
