CPU Thermal Shutdown due to heat generated from display card

One of my desktop PC with Intel motherboard D865PERL experienced frequent thermal shutdown after booting up for several minutes.  The CPU heat sink was not hot at all.  I guessed the motherboard sensors detected excessive heat from devices close to the CPU. Without doubt, this should be the display card.  What I tried to do was to do a CMOS reset and then replace the fan of the display card.  

Things got normal now.
