This could use more detail before it can be answered fully. What are you doing when it overheats? What temperatures are you seeing? What operating system are you using? – Troggy♦ Jan 30 '10 at 15:40

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Verify all your fans are functioning, both case fans and heat sink fans. Consider adding additional fans to increase airflow.

Being that is a laptop, you will need to make sure their is not dust and obstructions to the fan inputs and outputs. What are you doing when it over heats? Do you know what temps the laptop is reporting?

If this is a continued issue, you might want to consider purchasing a laptop cooler. This is an example:
