 Yet the panics you get really smell like fried memory.  My experience in
 that area is:  never make assumptions until you have tested the memory.
 I've said too many times "nah, it can't be faulty memory" and then been
 proven wrong.
 
 Random behaviour almost always end up as a hardware issue, you won't
 lose time checking that part out;  and remember that's something we
 can't do for you.
