Ok so i downloaded SpeedFan, heres a pic i took of what its reading, im sure my computer is getting to hot and to fast. I just want to know whats wrong, if i need to speed up my fans anything. The problem i keep getting is windows after a little while will automatically just close it-self down and is very annoying. If you can possibly help me it would mean a great deal thanks.

your computer may be experiencing some overheating due to dust buildup. Can you open the side of the case and inspect the fan(s), air intake vents (front, back and sometimes side) and the processor's heatsink?

A few pictures of heatsinks in the following links.

The heatsink fins will often become compacted with dust, and the fan blades will aquire buildup as well, all of which prevents good air flow and resulting cooling of the processor. The power supply (where the power cord plugs into the back of the computer) also has a fan and air flow vents, both of which can become clogged with dust. Overheating of either or both the power supply and processor can cause the computer to shutdown as you've described.

The best way to remove the dust buildup is with compressed air, which is available in cans from most any general merchandise store, office supply store and electronics store if you don't have access to an air compressor. When using compressed air to clean, don't allow the air flow to spin the fan blades. Hold the ones you can and use a toothpick or similar to hold the ones you can't get to, like the power supply fan (back of the machine).

Do NOT use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. It can create static electricity which might arc to your computer's components thereby damaging it.

thanks for the information i think i might have got rid of the problem. I blew on it a few times and after a few days i think i blew out some of the dust because after i blew on it i could actually here the fans and my computer has not been as near as hot as what it use to. if it does start to overheat again ill follow your steps on how to get rid of it thanks
