Also I would test the HD ....there should be a diagnostics tool on the manufactures site.

Defrag lately?

Did some of these games use to work?

I formatted it a couple days ago, no change.

Yes the old ones did use to work before I changed my machine.

I will test the memory though. Difficult to find time for it, since it can take longer than 2 hours lol

Do you have all other programs closed when you run the games?

Yeah dude, and as I said:

The CPU temperature under load is never higher than 55°C
The CPU usage under load is never higher than 30%
And the Memory usage is never higher than 30%
And the GPU temperature, never higher than 50°C

Ok you won't believe how stupid I feel now.
It appears to be indeed an overheat issue. I was really impressed at how the CPU cools down just by switching tasks while playing the game, to check the sensors.
I opened my case and stuck a big fan beside it and voilá! Perfect smooth gaming.

Thanks for all the help!
