Dag's Repo has the new memtest86+ 2.01 RPM. I'd pull it and let it run overnight. While memtest86+ is good, I've recently had cases where is didn't find (obvious) memory errors.
My favorite test is cerberus(ctcs). Quite a few OEMs out there use it to burn in their systems. For me it can typically find a problem within a few hours. Whereas memtest I've let it run for a week and have it not find anything useful.
Though the results of cerberus sometimes won't help you pinpoint the problem(often the result is just a machine crash). But at least you know there is an issue and can start swapping hardware until it's fixed(or just replace the whole system).
