Default I need some help what with overheating

awhile ago I bought a new computer, 3Ghz P4, 512MB ram ATI Radeon 9200SE... Asus motherboard with a fan that spins faster as it heats up... Well it would always run really friggin fast, so I installed another case fan and it helped a lot and ran fine...

Now I upgraded to an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro... aaaaand well, The Sims 2 lasts about 10 minutes before the computer shuts off... Louder and louder and louder then makes a bit of a buzzing noise then shuts off...

I really don't wanna mess with one of them water cooling systems, but I need some advice on what could work to help stuff, etc etc, I really don't know jack shiat about computers (and all those tech sites scare me... this being my first new computer since my crappy old 300Mhz P2)...

Yup...
