    Clean out your laptop every month and dust it.

    Use a cooling pad.

    Make sure dont set it on soft surfaces.

    Make sure nothing beside the laptop.

    In extreme cases ive had to put a fan beside the laptop but a cooling pad normally will fix the problem.

    Don't play on area that covers the cooling vents also try to take breaks just to let the computer cool down a bit
