You don't say what games you are playing. Check that the hardware you have is good enough to play the games. It will be written on the side of the box.
It seems like you have either a thermal problem (processor cooler defective, undersized or incorrectly mounted) or a defective power supply. I'm about 90% sure that the problem is thermal.
Yes with a better graphics card. You need Shader 4.0 at least on that graphics card. (Plus a lot more Stream Processors)
The GeForce FX 5200 is an AGP style of graphics card, and uses 8X speed. (0.8 Volts) It is a Budget graphics card, and does not have the graphics 'power' needed for the games you stated. (If memory serves it has 16 Stream Processors)
There is no 'miracle' program, or tweaking of settings, that will allow you to run the above stated games at a decent capability. Even at low settings for the games.
I would suggest an ATI HD Radeon 3850 at least. HOWEVER, other things come into play.
You need a 400 Watt power supply that has 30 Amps on the 12 volt power rail. The power supply must have a 2x4 power cable. (Example:

Your processor has have the processing power needed also, or you will have a 'bottleneck' of graphics information.
A graphics card has it's own processor. (GPU. Graphics Processing Unit) It also has it's own Ram Memory. (Graphics ram memory) However if the processor is too slow, the graphics information cannot be processed from the processor to the game program, and vice-versa, in a speedily fashion.
