You definitely need to do something about the RAM. It's very well possible that one/two (or however many memory modules you have) could be going bad. How long have you had your RAM/How old is it? 7 errors in 1 hour is not good. :/
Overheating though, I don't know... I suppose it could be your memory doing something funky (although I don't know what), but more than likely it's the video card or processor. In addition to what Hero said, you may want to try reseating your video card, checking that all the fans in your computer are working, and make sure that your heatsink has a solid hold on your CPU. Also, just because you put an "industrial" fan blowing on your computer doesn't mean that it's necessarily helping -- if you don't have enough airflow blowing that air out of your case, it could just end up compounding the problem. I doubt that's the case, but regardless you should ensure that you're maintaining good airflow throughout your box.
