Glad we could help and the story had a happy ending. May all your
adventures with Linux end this way.

try reinstalling and this time don't do the HDD optimization. I don't
think with a drive that big and a system as efficient as linux that you're
going to really need to worry about optimizing, and I suspect that there
is a small , but apparently noticable enough hardware conflict going on
there. I also suspect that it will all evaporate as soon as you install
without optimizing.
And evaporate it certainly did. You were all correct in spotting that this
problem was of my own making! In my defence I'll say I was distracted by the
fact that the installer didn't recognise all my RAM. I entered the correct
value, probably clicking the HDD optimisation, then clicking Ok without fully
reading the note.
It went like a dream when I did it properly! So I spent this evening playing
around with the KDE desktop... looking forward to the months of learning ahead.
Sigh!
My thanks to all who helped out.
