That was about what it needed. When Eric and I took the box apart, the few
ventilation ducts on a laptop were completely clogged.

The first thing I suggest you do is to try to blow out any built-up dust
in
the laptop's heat sink. Sometimes you can do this without taking it apart,
depending on what kind of tools and/or vacuums you have. [An air
compressor
does wonders, as can a shop vac.]
The next thing I suggest is trying to get your laptop to display the cpu
and
video chip temperatures. That will at least give you a clue if that is
indeed
the problem.
