Post the rest of your system specifications so we can better diagnose your problem. Give brand names and models including your power supply.

Did you have this same problem before you reinstalled Windows?

Suggest you switch over to a vid card using an NVIDIA chip. I've had that problem pop up several times on several systems. Seems like the coding on many of the games is maximized for NVIDIA. After switching over the problem went away. Also make sure you have proper cooling/ventilation.
