If your graphicscard is overheating, it's either a hardware failure - or poor design of the card. Software cannot "overheat" your card... It can utilize it to it's max.
But, if you card cannot handle being run at 100% - then your card is bogous!

Check your GFX card temperature and the fan control settings, and is there enough airflow in your case ?. If not put an extra fan.
