Computer freezes when gaming

Hi, thank you for taking a look at this post.
Basically what happens is that I play a game for a while and then the screen goes funny, like a still image with colors, and the computer completely freezes. I'm using the second computer in my signature. Thanks for any help.
 
It looks like possible overheating...

Download System Information for Windows (SIW free version)
No installation required.

After it scans your computer, navigate to Hardware>Sensors and post all info from there.

I keep my window opened now and the cool air seems to keep it running, so that must have been the problem. Thanks!
 
I still would like to see those temperatures.
When was the last time you cleaned inside the case, using a can of compressed air?
 
I thoroughly cleaned the inside of the computer recently. The PSU is I believe 275 W. The temperatures after the freeze were at about 40-42 degrees, nowhere near what my other machine would freeze at. Turns out it was the wireless network adapter's driver program, it was freezing my computer. I've installed a new driver so we'll see how that works.
