Post the temperatures here:

While everest is good, it is also huge. Lots of features and functions that are useful to only a few. I am a person that prefers a small, fast little application. Try Speccy, it fits on a floppy disk is much faster than everest and is also free. http://www.piriform.com/speccy I have tested it quite a bit, the temps are accurate as are the load measurements. There are a few bugs still however they do not affect anything of note. It has trouble detecting crossfire and socket type when using a newer AMD based motherboard.

well i opened it and it sure was dusty but the reason my graphics card was overheating. was that the processor was to close to the graphics card and was conducting the heat to the graphic card. so now i need to wait untill my dad is home open it up again and put something between the graphic card. i did not tested guild wars yet because my computers internet is down.

there's no need to "put something between" the CPU and graphic card. you'll actually cause it to heat up faster that way, since you've just killed case ventilation.
