Default Games Shutdown / Overheating !!!! HELP!!!

When i play 3D Games My PC will Exit the game after about 5 to 10 Mintues and sometimes will just restart.

Is this a Sign of overheating?

I downloaded one of those heat monitor programs but dont know what motherboard i have to set the program up.

What can i do to stop all of this!!!!

Could be a sign of overheating. Perhaps the graphics card.

Have you got anything overclocked?

Overclocking is bumping up the clock rate of things (CPU, graphics card, memory) to higher than standard to get more performance out of them.

If you don't know what it means, I'll presume that everything is running stock speeds.

Power supplies can also be causes of system instability.

Anyway, back to the motherboard issue... some motherboards bring up a splash screen as the computer boots giving their details. Does anything pop up on yours as it powers up?
