    IIRC I know someone else with that laptop and she said it overheats something terrible.

    looked over reviews and they say the same thing :/

    Would a cooling fan fix that?

    a cooling pad would help, yes, but it wouldnt fix it.

    Well if it shuts itself down automatically at a certain temperature you could probarbly just try to get the temperature below that.
    That is unless the overheating causes other problems.
