Memtest is the best option for Macs (as far as I know memtest86 won't boot, if anybody else knows better please let me know!); it will take a while but definitely rule out, or pin down, faulty RAM as the problem.

If it isn't the RAM, I've heard there are copies of the Apple hardware diagnostic CD in the wild, but since it's technically internal-use-only it would be a copyright violation to download. I seriously don't have a copy and wouldn't know where to start looking beyond the usual suspects.
