Lately my PC has been giving me problems....everytime time i run a game or a big program it freezes every 10 minutes or so... and then it un freezes after about 2 minutes could this be my graphics card overheating?

First thing I would consider is if you have installed anything recently? Do you have a virus? Or have you changed a setting or updated a driver?
After you rule out anything software issues, then I would check the hardware...

Well if it started after you got a new vid card, it has something to do with the vid card, have you updated to the latest drivers?
