8.04 Beta hangs arbitrarily

[Rosalind Mitchell]

I have been having quite a bit of trouble with my Hardy Beta Kubuntu 
installation, which hangs arbitrarily.  There's nothing I can do to recover 
from the hang as everything freezes up and I can't get access to a text 
session to restart nicely.  It's back to the button on the front of the box.

I haven't had this trouble with previous versions of Kubuntu, so I assume it's 
something to do with the interaction of Hardy Beta with my AMD-64 box.

Am I alone in having these problems?  And if not, is there a known way round 
them?
