See here for how to do this:

Let it run for 12-24 hours don't just do one pass as one pass sometimes is not enough.
Also make sure the BIOS is set on sane values, especially with regards to memory voltage and timing and system frequencies.
Also check that your system is not overheating for some reason, install the lm_sensors package to monitor temperatures.
If you are using the 3D desktop effects (compiz etc) try disabling those too, to be safe.
Have a look in /var/log/messages, but I doubt you find anything relevant in there, system freezes hardly ever generate entries in the logs.

lm_sensors was already installed, here's the output
