Welcome.
As far as your machine running hot, have you searched Youtube for your model and looked for the videos that show you how to clean that models heatsink?, many people need to clean the dust from the vents about every six months and neglecting to do so can result in the system problems your describing.
Often cleaning can be done without even removing a screw, using a vacuum cleaner and a compressor or even blowing back through the foils on some models, then vacuum out the dust by placing the vacuum over the grill where the air is taken in will remove most of the obstructing dust, though finding your model on Youtube and seeing how it's done is your best bet.
Good luck.
