Need Advice on Cooling Video Card/Processor

how can u tell which is over heating cuz when i was playing a game the graphics(FPS) suddenly dimishes. i thought it was my video card at first but now i'm not sure

The basic process goes like this

First, i'll be playing the game then all of a sudden, there whole frame rate lessons

Second i'll look in front of my computer and it'll say the temperture(around 115 F) which is directly connected to there processor.

Then, if i keep play the computer just restarts on its own. no signs no nothing just like a regular reboot

It happens often in games like world of warcraft, battlefield 2 but this time i was playing civilization IV, i know, its not a a high graphics game but when ur deep into it, more and more graphics are being used.

As oppose to specs i'm running a 2.8 gig intel processor, 1gig of ram. and radeonx800. also its customly made. i'll probably get the artic cooler if its the video card but i can't figure out why it just restarts

Any help would be great help Thank You.
 
You might have a virus or something bad- but its prob just your comp trying not to overheat or summat. Get more fans if possible, or, like you said, get some arctic cooling goop under your heatsinks.
