Hello, I have a Processor Athlon 64 x2 5400+ when I open bluestacks to play Clash of Clans the temperature rises up to 120 degrees and causes it to shutdown automatically.... when I watch movies the temperature is only about 40 degrees average..

Do i need to put some thermal paste again?

My CPU and GPU is not compatible for playing games? (I'm using integrated VC... NVIDIA Geforce 6150SE nForce 430)..

I need to replace my Heatsink Fan?

I need specific answers,,, Thanks in advance :)

Specific answers, okay lets see if these are specific enough.

1. Are all of your fans, including the one on the heat sink working correctly?
2. Are all of your fans, including the heatsink fins, dust free and clean?
3. Is your heatsink mounted correctly?

If you answered "no" to any of the questions above, then you need to correct that situation so that you can apply a "yes" answer.

When you can answer "yes" to all these, you need remove the heatsink, clean the old thermal paste off, apply new thermal paste according to the manufactures recommendations, and remount the heatsink.

Thank you for your very specific answer :)

1 and 2 I can say it is working correctly... But 3 I'm not sure because the lock of the Heatsink Fan Protector is and was broken and I'm only using some rubber band to stick it :D... I know it's a very stupid thing to do. But if this is really causing the problem, do I have to buy a new Heatsink Fan Protector or Connector (whatever you call it)? Or is it included in the pack where I have to buy a new Heatsink Fan?

Your entire system is a bit dated for modern games, but your GPU is very, very weak. If you were to do anything at all with the system, after you get your new heatsink installed and get the processor running cool so it does not throttle down, I would suggest you pick up a 750ti. It is a low power card that would plug right into your PC, and it will give you a decent gaming boost for a relatively low cash layout. Other than these things, I would not spend more money without considering a complete platform upgrade.
