If you take out the CPU then you will also need to apply fresh heat 
sink compound. I found that a little white spirit (or whatever the 
solvent for cleaning oil based paint out of brushes is called in your 
locality) from the DIY shop on a kitchen wipe is very effective for 
cleaning off the old compound.

I decided that if a machine hangs during memtest especially when it's 
already been running for several hours then it most probably isn't 
the memory that's causing the problem. Does this seem reasonable?

BTW Just another thought - Are you powering the machine with a UPS?
