It sounds more like a hardware issue.  Without stable memory
and working memtest it is unlikely that the drivers or anything
else will run stable. I would suggest you fix that first, then 
try the other things again.

64bit mozilla can only run 64bit plugins, and there is no 64bit flash
available. Either use 32bit mozilla or konqueror (which can use 32bit plugins
even from the 64bit version)

Not that I know of. AFAIK the OpenOffice code base is still not fully
64bit clean. The 32bit version works just fine on the 64bit kernel
though. There are also 64bit office alternatives like koffice,abiword,
gnumeric.
