I can compile stuff - like the latest kde4 rc without segfaults or problems (except when the oops is happening), and this mess only started recently. To be more correct: the swap-mess only started with 2.6.23.11. With 2.6.23.9 I get the kio_http... rip's, but no swap related messages. Overheating is very unlikely. I made sure that my computer is very well cooled. Even under high load I get something like 50?C from lmsensors and bios - and the errors are completly unrelated to load. Or temperature. Without load my cpu idles at ~30?C. Again, lmsensors and bios are very close about that.
