Im not any god with computers... But i have a gforce 9100 graphics card i know its a weak graphics card but it should run world of war craft on low video settings right? Everytime i play it will work absolutely well for about 10 mins then i get insane lag and my computer starts making this loud noise like the fans are going crazy.. Could this be my graphics card over heating? If so how do i fix it.

make sure you leave the tower open and make sure you clean it out from dust etc,
and make sure dont run alot of stuff at the same time mayby im not sure, but make sure theres plenty of air for yourpc and clean dust etc

dont know if that helps but i guess its a good start?..

Umm... Yes you do lol. After a couple of years you are supposed to change it. You can tell when you need to change it because it will have higher idle and full load temps than normal.

Since most people change GPU's every 1-2 years it is kinda of unknown to some pc users, but yes after a couple of year you may need to change your GPU's thermal paste if your noticing high temps/overheating.

Yet, both of you are definitely wrong. Yes, you don't do it initially but, you can and people certainly do change out the thermal compound on their gpus.

I couldn't find a video for your specific card but, if you are going to change the thermal compound there are plenty of videos on youtube. Just so you can kind of get an idea on what you need to do.
