I've been having huge issues with Kubuntu 10.04 ever since it left alpha stages.
kirqsoft/0 would hit 50% all the time, as well as another process that would hit 30% (I forget the name) on a dual core system, leading the CPU temperature to hit ~140 degrees. Not good. So, my solution? Wipe the partition clean and install the RC and not install the proprietary nVidia graphics this time, because it wouldn't let me go back to Nouveau afterwards.
So, wipe it clean with GParted, restart, put the Kubuntu 10.04 RC 64 bit CD in. "Try Kubuntu Without Installing." Enter. Nothing. I try all the other options. No response. Restart the computer. Still nothing. I get a response in the fact that the options will glow for a second, and pressing enter causes the disk to spin for 10 seconds, but it will not go beyond this. Has anyone else had a problem with the new live CD yet?
(I would like to note: I am very thankful I had an Ubuntu 9.10 CD on hand so that I could reinstall grub to at least get to my Windows 7 partition, which I now have KDE installed on. So thank you very much to KDE on Windows for saving my presentation for tomorrow; no thanks to Kubuntu for messing with my drivers ;-) )
