James Franco-esque! I grew a beard this year but didn't stick to the movember rules, next year I'll stick to it, I'm genetically predisposed to the handlebar mustache.
memtest is a great program to test memory. A loose ram stick can be the cause of the problem though I suggest checking all the ram sticks just in case :)
A suggestion might be to get 2x16gb sticks of ram instead of 4x8gb sticks. They are close enough in price, and you would have the option to go with 64gb down the line.
