Computer randomly locks up and restarts while playing BF2 or Oblivion. Case temperature around 40C with max temp 45C (summer here).
I have a thermalright xp90 cpu heatsink (keeps cpu temp below 70C) and a thermaltake smart fan 2 (80cm) in front of my hdd blowing at max rpm (keeps hdd temp below 45C).

What component is overheating that causes the lock ups/restarts?

Where is this found? I went into bios and couldnt find it, even tried advanced options (ctrl + F1) and didnt see anything

There isnt an option for it.

What about your graphics card temperatures?

My video card doesnt come with a temperature probe. Anyway if the video card is overheating it will most likely display artifacts than reboot the computer. When the computer does restart/hang while playing games I do not notice any display corruption.
