The fact that you're getting an OOPS involving core kernel threads (kswapd) is a pretty good indication that either there's a bug elsewhere in the kernel, or that something is wrong with your hardware. it's really difficult to be certain if you don't have a reliable test case though.
Talking about reliable test cases, I forgot to say that I definitely found an interesting one. It doesn't lead to OOPS but perhaps something even more interesting. While running countless stress tests I tried running some games to stress the system in different ways. I chosed openmw (an open source engine for Morrowind) and I played it for a while on my second external monitor (while I watched at some monitoring tools on my first monitor). I noticed that after playing a while I *always* lose internet connection (I use an USB3 Gigabit Ethernet adapter). This isn't the only thing which happens: even if the game keeps running flawlessly and the system *seems* to work fine (I can drag windows, open the terminal...) lots of commands simply stall (for example mounting a partition, unmounting it, rebooting...). I can reliably reproduce it, it ALWAYS happens.
