My computer is over heating because of AMD GPU vs Intel CPU. Is there a way for me to fix this ?

I got a GPU AMD Radeon HD 7700 and CPU Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz 2.17GHz. The temperature of the computer would mostly get from 60C to 70C and has experienced shut-downs from overheating (79C). I don't know what to do, please help.

Check the fans to see if they're all working. Take your PC outside and go crazy with this:

Check the bios settings. Maybe you have the cpu fan set to quiet mode and isn't spinning fast enough. I turn off the EIST bull crap and OC my G3258 to 4.6ghz and I get 76 degrees on load. Granted I have a good size aftermarket cooler with the fan always on at 100%.
