You may want to test memory with another tool. Emulators and virtualizers use lot of memory that might not otherwise be tested. Now my last set of crashes were due to bad X drivers. After days of running memtest and thrashing about in Dell support forums, I realized that my apt database was bad and that I was running an inconsistent X configuration. All of my Linux system crashes can be attributed to bad X drivers and memory errors.
