What is overheating of a computer.
A computer is overheating is mainly due to CPU(central processing unit ).its very dangerous to computer and its performance. computer may run slow,perhaps hangs all the time.
Its also deal with cup FAN.
Overheating Other electronic components.
Perhaps heat of the room or temperature surrounding the CPU.
They are many software that can sense the overheating of the computer.
Most use package in linux that can sense overhating monitoring (psensor
the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using lm-sensors).
the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
the temperature of ATI/AMD GPUs (requires compilation using libatiadlxx, support not enabled in Ubuntu PPAs).
the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp or libatasmart).
the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors).
the CPU usage (since0.6.2.10 and using Gtop2).
However This is how to install psensor in Linux.
1) sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
2) sudo sensors-detect
3) sensors
Installing in windows or contacting computer manufacture for free monitoring tools,mostly its free application provided by the computer manufacture .
Or

How to prevent overheating.
shut down the computer and let it cool down. From then on, you can plan a course of action that involves doing some cleaning if necessary, potentially upgrading your BIOS (check your motherboard's manual or web site for details), or planning some system-cooling upgrades if necessary.
If your computer is clean, your BIOS is up to date, and you're still having temperature problems, crack open your computer and check for damaged fans and heat sinks. Check for cracks, missing pieces, and make sure all the push pins are secure and all the appropriate fans are running. Secure and/or replace any loose or damaged cables. If you find you've got broken fans or a damaged heat-sink, you can buy and install new cooling hardware for relatively cheap, and finding a highly rated, compatible fan or heat-sink on Adjust the computer toward cooler area.
Please leave comments so that I can impove myself.Mashallah.

heat sink problem you might heat sink paste on the processor , that provide cooling to processor and avoid to over heat.
over heating is the problem if there is not working ventilation system installed in computer it may be by heat sink looseness or fan rotation decreased or powersupply fault.
it is because processor heat sink problem so apply heat sink paste on it and then check the results
Please check your cpu fan speed. if it's okay then check colling paste condition.
