My laptop has been suffering from this problem for quite some time now.I can't play games keeping my processor at 100% power for more than 10 mins.It just overheats and shuts down.I can't do any stressful work like graphics and stuff.I've to keep my processor at 50%-60%.Any more than that and it overheats in about 1-2 hours and shuts.I've tried cleaning the fan and stuff.I even talked with the owner of the shop from where I bought the laptop and asked him about changing the fan.He says its not possible,I'm not sure I believe him.I've tried Speed Fan but my motherboard is not supported.According Speed Fan my dual cores and the GPU stays at about 55 C to 60 C at 50% power without playing any games.My laptop is about 2 to 3 years old.Any ideas?

What happens when it overheats, does it crash?
Get a baseline Idle temperature, it's hard to interpret something with 50% CPU load, they're all different.

It doesn't crash.Sometime the screen just goes black and the computer hangs but most of the time it just shuts down.

Check if something is blocking the airflow cuz that would make the computer to go to sleepy mode because of the increasing temp.

i had the same problem with mine. I cleaned all the vents and then propped up the back end on some books to get some air in under the laptop. it never overheats now
