If your PC is overheating it may be because one or more of your fans have either stopped working or are clogged with dust. You should check the fans especially the one on your video card if it has one. You can also purchase third party slot fans to help cool your system something like

Keeping your system cool means making sure you have adequate air flow around the vents of the PC so that heat can be expelled from the case.
