It could very likely be the RAM -- it's quite possible to have a stick work for months (or even years), and then suddenly fail.
Also, you may want to try creating a new user account on the machine, then doing the same stuff you'd usually do when it locks up. That way, if the kernel panics don't happen under that new user account, you can narrow the problem down to, 1) being software-related, and 2) being user-account related.
