I'm seeing similar symptoms, altho not as reqular as yourself - my main
system can stay up for about 20-21 days, then go thru 2-3 days of system
freezes, with varying time intervals between freezes (5 minutes to 10 hours).

Can I ask some little questions?

What brand PC & what type of processor are you using?

Do you have any dial-in users on your system? If so, are you using any
serial hardware?

I've followed a remarkably similar fault-finding process to yourself,
concentrating on memory, but no joy yet.

I don't suspect a malicious user, as the box only runs SL/IP accounts -
the only shell account on the system is my own.

Cheers,

Guy
