If overheating is the issue, the current CPU/GPU and heat-sink will be removed, cleaned, then re-seated and new thermal paste as well as pads applied. Most of this also applies to GPU's as video cards work in a similar fashion to CPU's, though some might be much more difficult to repair or replace. Thermal past as well as pad re-application is recommended if the system board or video card are running very hot.
