My system worked well under Linux and FreeBSD for over a year using SIMM memory and after I upgraded to DIMM (one module, faster and bigger), it continued to work OK and pass long memory tests, etc., but then after a few months with the new memory I started getting errors like you did so I couldn't build 4.5-STABLE. I de-tuned some BIOS settings (in a couple of groups of changes) until it worked again (and has been for a month or two). ??? I'm quite sure I don't have cooling problems. Probably some failing power-related hardware.
