Recurring Freeze & Kernal Panic - AHT Unavailable

I'm having a recurring freeze where the computer locks up and the screens/mouse are frozen in time.

Since this started happening I've replaced the video card that powers my dual cinema displays with the ATI Radeon HD 5770. I've also replaced the hard drive and done a fresh system install. I continue to have the issue.

I don't have my original install disks so I cannot run Apple Hardware Test (AHT). Holding D or option+D on restart does not work. I've reset ram. I called apple support to request replacements for my original system cds and they said they cannot provide them, they only have retail disks. And those don't have AHT. I found this link to download some versions of AHT http://rivenbyfive.blogspot.com/2012/01/download-and-run-apple-hardware-test.htm l but my system isn't listed (MacPro4,1) and the file naming conventions don't make sense to try and figure out a download link.

Any help would be appreciated.

Last time it crashed I got the log which is as follows:

You look to be having a multiple memory errors.

Is the RAM size correct at 12GB? Anything in the 4th or 8th slot ?? both listed as empty.

Yes, there are 6 2gb modules installed. I'll run memtest and see if it shows any issues. I ran the Memory Slot Utility and it said "The memory modules are installed in the recommended slots."

bad processor. Internal CPU cores check fail multiple times. Partially:

an hour of testing time is not nearly enough. Set it up to run while you sleep and see if it catches anything by the time you want to use it again.
