due to my loose heatsink my graphics card temp rises upto 103 C when gaming and my cpu shutsdown is this a high temp and the reason for my cpu to shut down?
If you do plan on getting an after market cooler, first check your card to make sure it isn't damage around the mounting holes as that may render the cooler useless. I would just have it RMA'd since you know that something is physically wrong with it before you spend more money on it.
Yes, that is incredibly high and can cause permanent damage to your GPU. If possible tighten your heatsink so that it can properly dissipate heat. 103 C is hot enough to boil water.
