Two more things to check:

1) Are you using tmpfs? Could you try without it?

2) Are you really sure your hardware is ok? If everything works fine 
after a reboot, it might mean that there is a memory corruption and you 
don't use that specific memory until some time after the reboot. Try 
running memtest86.
