heat and freezing

[el_lance_o]

Hey people, I need to ask something before I go out and get myself whole set of new computer parts( think it isn't that but hey), and whenever I play games on my beastly system, I keep getting freezing in games, then after a bit, it finally goes back to playing. The problemo is it keeps happenning, and I think it's a heat problem, but I'm not sure. After I forced a shutdown(power button), I felt the insides and it was HOT, the top of my computer was also steaming hot( for a top). Are my game freezes due to heat? Oh yeah I might do that top fan modd tonight at my friend's house
