ok, eaither your processor is overheating, or your video card is. unless i can see your computer, i cannot tell you which one it is.
so.... are you overclocking anything, and how many fans are in your computer.
you can always buy a new heat sink for your processor, or a slot fan fot your video card.
tell me about your heatsinks.....
