I think its more the cpu, i bought this at the time as I do boring night shifts and needed a gaming machine to keep me awake at night and was pretty much the best sepc at the time.
So is there a cure to this?
heh.

You're probably blocking the fan.

If you use your laptop on a table you could try something like put something such as beer mats, match boxes etc under each corner of the laptop to let air underneath. If you're using it on a bed or sofa then you're jsut gonna have to live with it.
