I used to get this a lot with my Acer. A couple of things I tried, which usually helped for a while were:
- using a hoover nozzle to clear out the airways to the fan, to reduce the problem of overheating
- move most of your files (except program files) to an external hard drive to be used only when you need them, and remove any unnecessary programs, to speed up processor activity
- failing that, reinstall windows (a full backup is necessary first)
- and failing that, get the fan replaced by a computer shop.
If all of those fail, buy a new laptop - it worked wonders for me. They're just not designed to last forever.
