everytime I use my computer to play games or photo edit or put it on system stand by, the temp rises by atleast 20C it's like it's not disapaiting enough heat, I checked my fans they work fine this has never happened before and my ambient temps haven't changed either! what can I do?

I'm not sure if it's my video card, or some compatibility issue, but here's the deal:
I am unable to play certain downloadable games, because of choppy graphics and interrupted play, including screen freezing, black streaks, and vertical lines.
Specs: I have an AMD Sempron 2600+, 1.8gHz processor with 512 MB RAM. The Direct x version is 9.0, and my video card is an NVidia GeForce FX 5200.
Could the problem be that the DirectX and video card are incompatible? I didn't have problems when I initially got the system two years ago, and now it's acting all quirky! Thanks :)
