The problem is resolved - one DDR2 module is bad now. One month ago it survived overnight memtest run, but now it is definitely bad. memtest detects problems in a few seconds.

I found info about such mobos and preliminary analysis said to indicate that one of mobo capacitors had wrong specs. MSI said to start replacing affected mobos.
