Hello I am back with an update: After upgrading to 8.10 Intrepid I can confirm I still have this issue, the upgrade and switch to KDE4 in this aspect had absolutely no effect.
The problems only affect my workstation with AMD64X2 processor, ASUS- M2N-SLI mptherboard and the Nvidia Nforce 590 Chipset. I also own a laptop (Intel based Toshiba) where I don't have this problem, so I suspect there may be some architecture-dependent error triggering involved. All I need to do to trigger a system freeze on my desktop workstation is to go into Konqueror settings>cache>enable cache, and the machine grinds to a halt in about 10 seconds. A hardware reset button reboot is the only way I can get control of the machine again (well actually maybe some fancy escape key combinations on the keyboard could but I doubt it).
