Does the graphics card or the motherboard get hot? How hot? Are you getting an alarm? You can check the exact temperature using free software like hwmonitor http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Graphics cards do get warm but they shouldn't be hotter than say, 60 degrees C at idle and no more than 75 degrees C under load. Another thing to check is whether the fan on the graphics card (if it has one) is working and whether there is good airflow inside your case.
