It doesn't have any recognisable pattern nor is it liked to running any particular software, this problem has no prejudices!!!!
It is however making the machine unuseable, as I can probably only work for 10 or may be 20 minutes before it all locks up!

Because if you did, it could have been related to a temperature problem associated with a faulty fan. Other noises can be indicative of hard drive problems which can, in some instances, cause the problem you mention.

I don't think it's this. It's a fairly new machine and it's fine under Windows. Also, I can leave it running all night and there's no problem, it's only when I start doing stuff.

Then I'm out of ideas. Sorry I couldn't help more...
