Let me guess- Toshiba?
There is often a utility that you can use to configure power profiles. Here you can either change profiles or create a new one that is less aggressive with the CPU usage.
I agree that looking for the vents and blowing out from both sides (really good with a new can) should help.
Cooling pads always help too.
But you should slow down the CPU so it doesn't overheat so easily.
BTW- this is either clogged or just crappy engineering. In the case of some mfg's they do a poor job and sending it to them will not do much other than lighten your wallet.

Laptops Notebooks
A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
