Thanks for your tip about syslog. I had a look at it and what I did find out 
was that something called gconf has star billing in syslog. I don't know what 
it does but it doesn't seem happy! Tomorrow I'll try to find out more about it 
- but in the meantime if anyone can tell me what and why it is I'd be dead 
chuffed.

Hm, if it isn't a hardware problem, there may be something running (maybe gconf) and using all the CPU time. You can find out with top what that might be.
