Given that it does it across operating systems, I'm thinking you have some form of hardware failure. A long while ago when I was running my main system on an ASUS P55T2P4, it turned out that my L2 COAST chip had hit the bit farm. I found this out after going piece by piece through my system and the very last thing that could have been bad, turned out to be bad. I was happy it was a nice and easy fix, because I didn't really want to replace my memory or CPU at the time. :)
I'm guessing you have a more recent motherboard but my system showed the same symptoms yours has right now. If you have a fairly old system, you might want to make sure everything is seated properly and all the dust bunnies are gone. :)
I'm guessing it probably isn't heat related since Linux does HLT during idle.
