Get a laptop cooling platform and don't sit it on beds, couches, carpets and anything that will block the vents at the bottom.

I've never liked thoes. I will give them a try if noting else works.

Hi,
Are you sure you set the heatsink properly, maybe it isn't making proper contact.
You can try to elevate the laptop using bottle caps/erasers/DVD cases etc
That should improve the flow. What're the temps like?
