Make sure the fan inlet and outlets are not blocked at all. There shouldn't be anything under the bottom, if that's where the fan inlet is, like laying it on the carpet or having papers around it.

Make sure no changes to the laptop fan settings have been made. There should be a temperature display panel to show operating temps.

Is your virus software up to date? Are all your unused sockets turned off?

www.grc.com has some utilities for changing various Windows settings.
