If the graphics card is running too hot, you'll see artifacts on your screen while gaming (they look like discolored dots) or you'll see discolored lines, sometimes the GPU will just crash, or just go out.
It'd be best to tell us which GPU have, because different GPU's run ideally at different temperatures.

it is ATI HD 4350 i will be upgrading to nvidia gt240 but to get the gt240 i will also need a psu upgrade.

well, you can rig up a case fan to blow at your gpu, and that'llo cool it off.
