Computer overheating???

Computer overheating???
So i'm trying to figure out whats wrong with this stinkin computer. But i think its overheating. Everytime my little bro tries to pay WOW(world of warcraft) it always just restarts itself. Unsure of what the issue is. I've cleaned everything out as far as cleaning out the case, i thought it was because it was dirty and wasn't letting the hardware cool off. But nope that wasn't it. The cpu temp is at like 125 degree's. inside the case is 85 degree's. I dont know what the ---- is wrong with it. I'm guessing the power supply may be too weak to handle the game.

125?? hell no .....thats crazy download mbm and see what the real temp is ......is all your fans working? when its about to crash dose the game look fucked up? it could be memory.. but more then likely its one of your fans stopped working or some one changed some settings and you've overclocked the processor or something but its pretty hard to do that.so not likey... ya make sure all the fans r running..... mbm tells you the rpm of the fans too....

i have MBM 5, all of my fans work. Processor is NOT overclocked. Rawr i didnt clean the processor yet. I really didnt go all out cleaning the crap off of the graphics card. Video card is just a Radeon 9800 Pro. It has a Pentium 4 2.8ghz has 1gb of ram.
