I don't know what to do. It gets super hot and uncomfortable to type. I already can't use it on my lap because I would literally burn my thighs. It also gets super loud (fan) if I try to add a game to the mix and everything starts stuttering till I just shut it down.
Along these lines, it might be a good idea find a program which monitors sensors (lm-sensors/Psensor on Linux, Open Hardware Monitor on Windows) to monitor the fan speeds and core temperatures of your CPU / GPU. This will give you insight into where the heat is coming from, if the fans are working properly, and if the chips are operating within specified temperatures.
Thanks!
