Long shot, but I had random freezes on a machine years ago and it turned out that I forgot to install the intel-ucode package [1]. EDIT: I realize now that you're running an AMD cpu.

Also, things that may help you track this down:
- monitor /proc/interrupts when it freezes
- remove some hardware, see if crashes disappear, add back progressively
- increase kernel verbosity (I forgot how I did this, maybe [2] will help?)
- when and how exactly did it start?

Keep in mind that it may take days of stress testing memory before catching an error. I caught a faulty RAM slot on a MB once after 3 days of running memtest. I suggest running for an entire week.

Good luck
