Definnately sound like a temperature problem.
But whether or it is the CPU or graphic card which is overheating I can't say, withouth some temperature meassurements.

Try and check your settings for the graphic card (must be some control pannel installed with the drivers) and see if you can find a temperature someplace in there. Also check the software which came with your motherboard, usually there is some meassurement software with it as well.

Otherwise, try going to the producers of your card/motherboard and see if they have any downloads.

I'd say there is about a 50/50 chance that it is one or the other, so before you start getting it repaired, then try and figure out which component it is.
