Mushyboy, Hi - I'm no gamer, but are you saying the PC freezes ONLY when playing this game?
What happens if you have something simple - like wordprocessor running (ie something with very low video content)....?
Temperature sensors (I read ) are notoriously unreliable except when everything is 100% OK, as I believe they rely on good thermal contact and can only monitor one part of the whole.Your observations about "winter" are valid, but it would be better to specify the actual room temperature IMHO.

Another aspect: Has this happened "suddenly" Mechanical or software-upgrade - - or has it been a gradual process (indicating some slow degredation).
Sorry that's about all I can suggest - I presume you don't have interference issues, local welding, lifts etc which might be putting a "spike" into the elecrics....the way you appear to describe it : You suspect temperature.
Some OS are just as like ly to be at fault (ie with a "demanding" game, perhaps), but this is where I have zero experience, so I'd suggest you try to make it freeze with "simple* software" running (only), to prove it's not the game that's at the core of the problem.
Have you changed anything recently? I guess you've already racked yr brains on this.........
Goodluck,
H.
*Notepad is pretty undemanding, if you are running early Windows....
