Ok, there are fire icons next to the CPU and GPU but they are only at 52C and 57C which I belive is not that bad. Am I mistaken?

Well fire usually mean bad, but I don't know for sure what standard temps are.
I'd say wait for a tech member to comment on it.

Hope I helped

Ya I appreciate your input. I did a quick google search and apparently anything under 90C is ok.

is sounding like a heat issue if fan are spinning up before the problem load the Speenfan like suggested by doggy314 great suggestion! also clean out the cpu fans with a can of compressed air or air compressor

Ok, I installed speed monitor and the temps never get up much past 90-94C for the CPU and about 75C for the GPU. I installed a intel application accelerator and that seemed to help a little. With Titan Quest, I can play fine windowed 1600x1200 high settings for 20 minutes with no problem. I am going to try and play for an hour or so to see if it still will work. Dawn of War still has issues. It will boot fine, then lag about a mintue or two into gameplay. It maybe some issue with that specific game. I will do a few more tests with some additional software and let you guys know what happens. I really appreciate your input and fast responses, this forum is awesome!

Thats CPU's getting too hot what it should run at 60-70C it will take up to 100C but that is not normal operation temperature. I'd make sure all vents and fans are free of dust. Has this been or is it over clocked?
