Arne, you might be hitting the right nail here, I installed ipmitool and
look at this:

root at cebolla:~# ipmitool sel elist
...
 47d | 07/15/2014 | 12:53:29 | System Event #0x83 | Timestamp Clock Sync |
Asserted
 47e | 07/15/2014 | 12:53:30 | System Event #0x83 | Timestamp Clock Sync |
Asserted
 47f | 07/15/2014 | 12:54:10 | System Event #0x83 | OEM System boot event |

root at cebolla:~#

Going back in the logs, I see that the exact same 4 messages in the
previous reboot dates. So it seems that one of my DIMM are dying.
