Those temps should be fine. Could be power supply problems, if it only happens when you're running high load. Have you upgraded anything since you first got it? Like the video card, or added a drive?

Could be. Do you have any monitor software with your mobo that shows the voltages of the 3.3, 5, and 12V rails? If they dip too much that could cause problems. Another possibility: Games and other hard use taxes the RAM a lot, and could bring any problems there to light. Try downloading memtest and prime95 and run each at least overnight (not at the same time). If there's a memory error, memtest should fail, or prime95 will have a rounding error.

I'd still say try prime95, my computer passes memtest but failed prime95 pretty quickly. Else, try a power supply if you have one around.
