I was reading the change log for the 2.6.6 kernel and there is a fix for the nforce2. This is what is in the changelog...I don't know what this means but it very well could be my problem. The only thing that doesnt make sense to me is that only kde causes it to hang.

	[PATCH] fixup for C1 Halt Disconnect problem on nForce2 chipsets
	
	Based on information provided by "Allen Martin" <AMartin nvidia com>:
	
	A hang is caused when the CPU generates a very fast CONNECT/HALT cycle
	sequence.  Workaround is to set the SYSTEM_IDLE_TIMEOUT to 80 ns.
	This allows the state-machine and timer to return to a proper state within
	80 ns of the CONNECT and probe appearing together.  Since the CPU will not
	issue another HALT within 80 ns of the initial HALT, the failure condition
	is avoided.
