Hey

ive got a
Amd 9950 phenom x4 2.6ghz with stock heat sink
6gb ram ddr2 800
asus 9600gt 1024gb ddr3
win 7 rc 64 bit

When i play games like crysis or overlord 2 i get kicked after about 20 minutes of playing. my temps when playing are about
cpu 65
MB 45+
GPU 50

Are these to high. should i look at the airflow and heat sink

Ideally you want to lower the CPU to below 60C but I don't think any AMD CPUs are rated at any less than 70C so should be fine.

What do yoy mean by "get kicked"? reboot? shutdown? disconnect? ...?

The screen goes Black then the desktop appears and Im not in the game any more. When i open the side of my pc and place a big fan aiming at my MB then the game playes normally not stopping once

It sounds more like the GPU crashing, but your temps are fine on that so not 100% sure. Maybe someone else will have better advice.
