Gary buddy 
I would say you have faulty memory.
Windows doesn't fill the modules the same way linux does. The fact that you 
can run windows first is proof.
If there is a fracture in the circut of the memory, it will open when its cold 
and close when it hot , why? because when metals and other substances get hot 
they swell, and shrink when cold.
The fact that you can actually boot into windows and work for a while with 
problems suggests that it isn't a fault on any other piece of hardware,
Anyway hope this helps.
