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 :/ -- Lee.
