There's several likely culprits:

1. Bad memory. Windows and Linux allocate RAM differently, so it's very
possible for one OS to hit a problem and the other not. Which memory test
util did you run?

2. Problems with the video drivers. Since you did run the memory test, this
is the most probable. What graphics card does your system have?

3. BIOS bugs which make the cooling not work properly in Linux. This
sometimes happens in laptops but I've never heard of it on a desktop system.
