After the freeze, I can't see what is printed on the text console
(because the system is completely frozen, and I can't do anything).
However, I have an xterm started with the -C option, but there was
nothing on it.

How can I test it (this is a PowerPC)? Note that before any freeze,
the system and applications are very stable.
I've tried memtester. I first tried it under X11, but the system froze.
Then I tried it after the reboot, and I got lots of "Out of memory"
errors in the console and messages saying that processes were killed.
Its stdout and stderr output was:
memtester version 4.0.8 (32-bit)
