I'd fire up a continuous kernel compile and let it run for a few hours. 
Configure it to build every modules possible, then run, should be a good 
memory/CPU/heat test all in one. That's what I did to catch/identify the

Something like:

  make dep; make clean
  make -j 40 bzImage
  make -j40 modules
  done
