First you need to know which hardware component/s is/are overheating. For laptops it's mainly either the CPU or the GPU.

Do you have a software than can tell us your CPU temperatures? If you don't, I recommend Core Temp (Can be found here: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/)

If it is indeed one/both of these two parts overheating, you might need to replace the thermal paste on them.
