With that length of time, I would not rule out a hardware/overheating problem even if the symptoms do match that of a previously known or suspected kernel problem: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTMxMjI Some motherboards are set to overclock the hardware. You can try slowing down any GPU related settings in the BIOS. If the GPU is overheating, upgrading its fan or reseating the heatsink with new thermal compound might do the trick. Make sure the case itself has enough ventilation. You could try testing it with the case open, maybe even with a room fan blowing into it. As Kuba said, you can boot multiple kernels, so there should not be any reason you can't try the very latest version. If you ever do find the problem, please do let us know what it turned out to be.
