COMPUTER HEATING PROBLEM

[gr8one84]

I have P4 3.0 Ghz HT with 1024 MB RAM and 512 MB XFX Geforce card. My
system is getting hot easily and gets shutdon automatically sometime.
My fan rotates at high speed only always. I clean My heat sinks and
Processor fan regularly. But still problem occurs. What do i Do?
MY temp comes to 85 ~ 90 *. IN BIOS.
In my motherboard I have 2 heat sinks one is for the Processor it is
with a fan...
in The other, there is only a heat sink, no fan. Should i add a fan
for it?
Please let me know...

Do you have fans to exhaust the heat from the case? You can have the best
heatsink in the world, but if there is nothing to exhaust the heat from
the case it builds up and will cause overheating, especially with the
power hungry video card that your are using.
