Do you know where cool air enters & where hot air exhausts via the fan?  If you can peer inside and see a lot of dust, you will have to open the laptop (usually a daunting task on a laptop) & clean out all the crud impeding the airflow.  The fan can get clogged and also the CPU heatsink.

Ok, my HDD crashed.  I took it to beestbuy (warranty) and had it fixed.  Clean as a whistle.

Got a CoolerMaster cooling pad.

SOLVED.

    if a laptop needs a cooling pad to work properly, what it really needs is a thorough dusting of the insides.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
