Should i upgrade my cooling system?

Hi recently dolphin has been crashing after about three minutes of playtime. i noticed that the crashes usually happened when my cpu reached around 52 degrees C. My Cpu's TJ max is 70 degrees C

my specs are:
AMD Phenom quad core 3.2 GHz
ATI Radeon HD 5700
8192 MB RAM

Is this likely an issue of my computer getting too hot and would a better cooling system resolve the issue?

Your temps look good

Your temps look fine and is not the cause of your crashes.
Which game are you playing?

hmm right now i'm playing skyward sword and have only had the issue with that game. though with all games i have had an issue where dolphin incorrectly states that the battery in my wimote is redbar. this means i usually get 2 hours of playtime before whatever game i am playing can no longer detect a wimote even though my remote is still powered on and connected to dolphin
