The fact that it does not lock up in safe mode indicates it might be related to a kernel extension (kext), since no third party kexts load in safe mode. You say you reloaded the OS recently,,.did you remember to make sure to reload the OS appropriate drivers for whatever hardware you have connected?
You could also try to create a new user account on the computer and migrate your data to the new account.

Re-seat them first then use a RAM checker software (must run prior to OS load) or you can divide-n-conquer by removing pairs one at a time.There is no need to buy or download a RAM checker if you have the original discs that shipped with the Mac. Startup from the original disc while holding the D key to load Apple Hardware Test. You will want to run extended tests in loop mode (Control+L), preferably overnight, as a single test is not guaranteed to find a RAM fault. Another benefit of Apple Hardware Test is that if it is a hardware failure other than RAM, it may find it. A RAM checker alone will not check every other component.
