As far as I can see, all that's gone is my ~/.kde - and that's a big enough
pain :-) So far, everything I've checked has been fine, so I'm thinking that
it's either power or over-heating. Since I've been running tests for several
hours, I'm inclined to rule out over-heating, so I'll get a new PSU. The case
was not a cheap one, but it did have a built-in PSU. Come to think of it, I
do believe that I have a 400w PSU in my cupboard, that is a known good brand,
and unused.
