My Video Card Gt220 Reaches 105 Degrees?

Hi

i have been experiencing this problem the last few weeks, like id be playing a game and suddenly BOOM.

You are now Entering Power Save Mode.

my whole monitor would go black and there is nothing to do besides physically turn my computer off and turn it back on..

I got a suggestion to download GPU-Z and my graphics card is

Nvidia Geforce GT220.

I uploaded the latest drives (29th June 2011) and i started playing world of warcraft today to test it out, before it shut off i got a .gif file id imageshack but since its .gif and quickplayer wants me to buy their program so i could save to a jpeg but forget it. I also saved it as a log (notepad) and from what i could see:



2011-06-30 20:51:52 - GPU Temperature 67

2 minutes later, while loading World of Warcraft

2011-06-30 20:53:56 - GPU Temperature 99

2 mins later after im in the game

2011-06-30 20:53:58 - GPU Temperature 106



Now im going to PCWorld tomorrow, im using a Intel 2 Quad Core Q8300 2.5GHz processor with a 350W PSU Power Supply Unit and i could only spend up to £50 since im going on holiday..



What is better to buy,

a new graphics card or a 500w+ PSU ? otherwise i have no clue besides that on how to fix it.. cant even play games
