Can someone leave me a link to a program that will monitor the heat that my system is taking because I believe that my lag spikes are because of the heat. Please leave a link for me

HWMonitor.

More than 1 factor can cause lag spikes, so please post your full specs including the power supply: brand, make and wattage.

Also make sure your drivers are up to date. Lastly, post the temperatures here once you have them.

The GPU is getting cooked, you're right, it's a major heat problem. 109 c is way overboard.
Get a can of compressed air, open up the case and blow out all the dust that you can.
While you're at it, check the brand and model of the PSU, it's probably contributing to your issue, HP never uses good quality ones in their systems. There should be a sticker on the side of the psu, post what it says on it.

Also, what games are you trying to play? Because the GPU is outdated for today's games.

In my experience of over-clocking, and trying to get an understanding of how hot is too hot, i have come to realise that a temperature such as the one your processor is showing is fine. But even though GPU's can handle more heat, going over 100 degrees is too hot. Like Mark said, clean it out in case the dust is making heat dissipation more difficult. You can probably take the whole thing out if you want, while the CPU is a bit of a different case. Out of concern for static discharge, I would recommend you either don't really touch it at all, keep your computer still plugged in and touch the PSU or use a static strap to discharge yourself. Haven't had it happen to me before, but I would hate for someone to short circuit and destroy any of their hardware.

Well thank you very much for telling me what the problem is

( i took the heating test while the computer was idle , just for more info) and as for the games that I play , i play combat arms , vindictus , a.v.a , Unity flash games and I tried to see if runescape would do the same lag spikes and it did ( all the games mentioned do lag spikes but at different intervals) So my main objective now is to clean the insides of my computer ( mostly the GPU part) and look at the brand of my PSU right ?

I would suggest a fresh coat of thermal paste whilst your at it

Is thermal paste expensive ?

A little info on applying How To Correctly Apply Thermal Grease | Hardware Secrets

Only applies to the CPU as far as I know. I've done this myself, and I find that it helps put it down a couple of degrees even if you don't use the processor a whole lot.

Yes, the PSU might have a hand in this problem.
