Memtest i let run for a few days, no errors.  turns out the place was
vandalized while i had the system down running memtest (so no video
cameras were recording) :D go figure.....  just some broken windows...
don't worry.

i tried a brand-new, different power supply, system froze again after a
couple of days.

i am going to try requesting advanced replacement RMA on the AMD CPU.
