Repeatedly spont. rebooting

I put together a very cheap MB/CPU for my grandaughter. I mean really cheap.......... CPU is running about 76 C which is big time hot I know. But, could this be the reason for having this system constantly spontaneously rebooting itself? It'll do so after about 15-20 minutes or so. A couple of times I went into BIOS and let it sit there watching the temp for an hour or so, but no rebooting was noted. Temp stayed constant around 76 C. BIOS is set at 80 C as shutdown temp.

Thanks Folks
 
Get some better cooling for that processor. 76C would be very high for a system under full load (100% CPU usage). If you're getting that temperature just sitting in the BIOS doing nothing, then it's probably going well over 80C when you actually have something running in Windows.
 
So, I switched out the heatsink fan with another I had and now the temp runs at around 47-50C. Still a bit hot methinks but is this acceptable?
