Thanks to all for the advice will monitor CPU, and next time it occurs will 
look at the logs at the precise time of the hiccup to see if any clues are 
given, like you were saying there are a lot of possibles.
One thing that i did notice in the logs is a warning about the conexant
winmodem driver which as it happens is very much beta,and uses a module
called hfsoss spec which results in a few kernel warnings it could be the 
combination of sound and and internal modem causing a linux equivalent of a 
corenary heart attack!
