A really frustrating day. My work laptop was overheating and shutting down this morning. I'm taking it in to a computer repair shop first thing in the morning - guessing the fan needs to be replaced. I have a back-up laptop, which I've been using all day, but it's so frustratingly slow. Even as I type this, it pauses for each keystroke. It was horrible trying to complete the hits I managed to catch, and I had to return many of those because I knew I couldn't complete them in time!
You did try turning it off and blowing it out with canned air? Mine, an HP you are supposed to blow out via the battery compartment (after you remove it).

Maybe you need to reapply the thermal paste
I have duct, electrical, plumbers, and scotch tape. I also have Elmer's, nail, and Crazy glue. I don't, however have thermal paste and definitely am not confident or competent to attempt that, lol!

Check your model online re where to blow it out as different models have fans in different spots. The user forums are usually informative.
