Well, I got rid of openldap.  It runs longer but still crashes so I am 
back to Fluxbox again, which works fine.  I also started with a fresh 
.kde4 directory.  That seemed to help more than anything else.  It 
lasted a LOT longer after that.  I don't know if it was a coincidence or 
what but it did lock up once when I logged into Konsole as root.

I started a emerge -e world this time.  This thing has 4 cores so it 
won't take to long.  Any ideas on what else I can try?  If this emerge 
doesn't help, it has to be a config file somewhere.

Again, I'm pretty sure it is not hardware.  It runs fine when compiling 
in a console and I have run from systemrescue stick as well.  Hardware 
seems to work fine.

Ideas?
