Hi I have Acer Aspire 5742 Laptop out warranty use it on a cooling pad, with fan behind it, clean fan area and keep area around it clear to allow air flow. I don't have lot offline games installed, use laptop for Facebook and realm of empire FB game, use office, and other software for study work
It may be time to disassemble the laptop and give the fan a good cleaning.
You should also remove the heatsink and clean/reapply a fresh application of thermal paste.
If this is not something you are comfortable with then it may be time to take the laptop to a local repair shop.
