Well, this dont seem to be an in-game bug, as yourself said, it happens with all the games you play.
Anyway it looks like your system is overheating, check if all of your fans are working ok, this include CPU, GPU, power supply unit, etc.
Hope that helps, but please try to stay in-topic, specialy now that devs have lots of work trying to fix all the new version bugs.

Run a few very thorough virus checks in addition to Ranust's suggestions.

The quickest way to test if its a heat issue is just to take the side of your PCs case off, if it works fine like that you probably need to clean out your CPUs heatsink and fan.

Another possible cause is that you PSU is giving unstable voltages to some of you components.

I would also suggest you install some temperature and voltage monitoring software like Motherboard Monitor.
