You don't say how much RAM you have.  If it's 4GB, you don't really need 
x86_64; you can use a 32-bit system with a PAE kernel with up to (I 
think.) 64GB.  I do know I'm using one on this box with 8GB with no 
problems.  And, have you tried memtest86+?  I can't help but feel that 
there might be a RAM stick going sour there.
