To run a proper memtest you want to run it for 6-8 hours minimum, this will give your PC a good work over at the same time. My niece had a similar issue as you with CPU overheating on her laptop, I could run live cds and leave it in the bios for ages but running Windows after about 10 minutes it would shut down so doing something fairly strenuous would be a good test.
