Ok, well after installing both my new video card and new PSU, my computer would at times lose picture and I would have to restart. I discovered a big problem I have now is that my GPU is overheating like crazy. It idles around 55-60C and climbs to 70-80C seconds after I run a game, before settling around 85-95C (this is all with fan speed supposedly set to 100%). My CPU also seems hot, as it idles around 50C and goes up to 85C+ after being at full load for a few mins. The Psu I bought had a fan on the bottom instead of at the back like my old one, I don't know if that messes things up, but it is facing my video card fan.
I don't know much about computers so does anyone know if there is anything that I can do to potentially fix this heating problem? I tried testing it without a cover, but the temps were pretty much the same. I uploaded some pics to help: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/114026/pics-rar.html
Thanks for the help!
(I used EVGA Precision and SpeedFan to check temps)
My Comp Stats:
Windows Vista 32bit
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5000+ (2.6GHz)
3GB RAM DDR2
Sparkle Geforce 9800GTX+ 1GB (new)

CORSAIR CMPSU-400CX 400W (new)
EDIT: My CPU seems to be idling at around 45C now with both cores going to about 70-75C after playing a game for 5 minutes.
