Well, after struggling on and off for a few months I have got F16 KDE
stable. The answer it turns out was to ensure the BIOS memory settings
properly matched the installed processor, as not all processors can make
use of all the functionality. In my case using AMD X2 and not
AMD Phenom processor.

The errors reported were about kernel problems which were reported as
not worth reporting due to difficulty in tracking the cause, and would occur
most frequently when running openGL applications like foobilliards, (I'm
using the proprietary nvidia drivers, another story getting them working).
It also caused problems with yum(ex) reliability, so it can cause
installation
problems.

Hopefully this will help others who have being having stability problems
