This is probably a golden opertunity for companies like ASRock which have patents on or licenses patents on overheat protection circuitry for motherboards.

This type of invention/circuitry could and probably should be extended to RAM chips... to protect RAM chips against overheat.

Full system shutdown is recommended.

Also windows/bios and such need to be updated to give feedback of what happened after the shutdown and restart/reboot to diagnose the problem.

Would be nice if windows event log has an entry like:

"System shut down due to RAM overheating".

Windows does have something similar. NAV used to cause my system
to crash when it woke up the system to perform updates. I think
the CPU didn't like the "power rush", and Windows DID create an
event for it. After diagnosing and screwing around with the
problem for a few weeks, I got a different antivirus
program--problem solved.
