First run some diagnostic software like Speccy or HWMonitor to check if the temps are higher than they should, for reference take a look at the values showed in this full review of your laptop (“Temperature” paragraph). In this case, aside from keeping your laptop on a solid, flat surface while it’s operating, here are some possible solutions to the laptop’s oveheating problems: check if the fans are working properly, basically you should feel with your hand they’re effectively blowing hot air out of the chassis, a software like HWMonitor or speedfan will give you real-time info on the system’s fan speedsif the fans are constantly spinning without issue and temps are still too high, air vents could be clogged: assuming that the warranty period has expired, I suggest you turn off, open up the laptop (with all due precautions) and remove all the dust from the inside (refrain from using a vacuum cleaner or air can, use instead an anti-static brush or a dust blower) , especially the air vents (and filters) and fans; while you’re at it, replace the thermal paste if needed. Other tricks that will help you keep your system cooler are: adding a cooling pad to get better airflowtweak the performance settings from the Power Options menuas suggested by @komota, anti-spam/virus/malware software will help you prevent CPU-intensive unwanted apps to run on your PCany missing or worn rubber spacers under the laptop should be replaced Finally, to get info on your battery’s health on Windows, type the “powercfg /batteryreport” command, then simply open the newly created report (it’s in your home folder).

I would say problem is that something is using PC a lot. I would check malware or other software to see what is using pc resources a lot and kill that process, then i will not make heat and then it should work bit faster
