    Please do help.

    An abnormally plugged up exhaust or intake vent? Check the fins on the heatpipes and fan.

    Mine used to do that. It got so hot that after I took the laptop off the table I probably could've fried some eggs on it. My laptop finally stopped turning on (probably due to the extreme heat) so I sent it back to HP and they replaced the system board and now it runs pretty cool.
