I found my old USB Gentoo which has memtest installed (and which I used
for my first test also). I let it run for two passes, both successful.
So the RAM seems fine.

It’s a netbook with a 6.5 Watt CPU. I’m going through the big emerge
again right now (3.5 hours in), and it never goes above 66°. Besides, the
freezes also happened when I didn’t do anything heavy. Just surfing
(though Firefox can also be heave for an Atom ^^).
Anyhoo, I’m running 3.8.13 again now. I didn’t have my config anymore,
so I oldconfig'ed it from 3.9. Let’s see whether it’s more stable. If
yes, hm... I can’t really report this to the kernel devs: “My netbook
freezes since 3.9, that’s all I know. Here, have my configs.” :-I
