Yeah, I also have similar specs, My system freezes everytime i try to upload a video, as well as random freezes like the ones you have stated.

But i did OC, 3.66ghz , and 1834mhz on the ram.

If memtest is freezing I'd pull all but 1 RAM stick and try running it again. If that stick fails/freezes, try the next. If each stick fails in one slot, try repeating this in a different slot. If you get Memtest running several full passes with no failure, try torture testing with something like OCCT. Does it typically fail during certain tasks or is it completely random?

+1 for DeW. It's more than likely a RAM problem.
