clean the pc and keep in the place with good air flow... dont put unwanted stuffs that cover the air gaps of the cpu,,,,

The same happens to me sometimes. If I make a video with Movie Maker, my CPU (Intel Core i3-3110M Ivy Bridge) and motherboard (LENOVO INVALID U3E1) will go at least 60°C/140°F and they have gone up to 75°C/167°F or something more. My HDD gets hot fast,but it is at 50°C/122°F most of the time. My graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 4000) hasn't reached 50°C yet,but it has reached 48-49°C/118.4-120.2°F.
Yep well nothing surprises me with laptops simply because they are so compacted together inside the casing. Just as a\matter of interest what are you measuring the temps with?
My older Toshiba Satellite L550 does get to the CPU (i5) temp of 60C when scanning for example but usually resides around 40C the mobo temp I think is tad hot and the HDD it is sitting on the edge of what I would feel comfortable with - having said that I have been using SSD's now for some time the only spinners I use as back data ones in my desktops and they don't get used very often.
I think it might be an idea to check with another temp program just to see if there any discrepancies and use my little ditty to check the "rad" of the cooling system seeing that it is a laptop unlike the thread starters desktop.
CLEANING A LAPTOP FAN & COOLER RAD
The thing you do is to turn over the laptop and shine a very bright light into the air intake aperture (you will see the fan there) and then while doing that look at the outlet vent on the end of the laptop you should see the light quite clearly shining through the cooling " radiator" if not - it is clogged and will need cleaning as will probably the fan opening.
You can do this by blowing it out using a compressed air can in short bursts.
BUT ONE WORD OF WARNING DO NOT blow the air into the fan opening without inserting say a plastic rod or large cable tie to stop the fan from spinning as the air blast will spin the fan at a very high speed that it is not designed to take and may wreck the bearing!!
To clean the slots in the radiator use a pipe cleaner or one of those craft covered wire sticks - they are referred to as chinelle sticks - see pic. But do be very careful not to be overly heavy handed you will find it might take a second or two or a few minutes to clear the heavier build ups.
I measure them with Speccy.
These temperatures are reached only in some cases. They don't occur often.
Some cases:
Windows Movie Maker
Windows Experience Index
Moving files over 3 GB in size to a different partition
Booting up a virtual machine (Windows Vista and above) in VMware Workstation
Of course,the former two always reach these temperatures,but the latter two do not reach them every time.
Yes mate I don't think you have much to worry about everything uses fuel of some form or another and a by-product of course is heat in our case using an electric current. So it stands to reason that work anything hard and it will get hotter because it is suing more "fuel".
It is hard to determine the actual temp of the CPU for example because the silicon die / chip is much smaller than the heatsink which is absorbing it and of course consequently the die is hotter than the heatsink see my pics of a laptop CPU setup it is much the same as any CPU dropped into a desktop socket except laptop ones have a slightly different cooling set up.
In any case CPUs are generally manufactured to have a thermal cutout once a designated temp is reached that if gone over would simply destroy or even melt that silicon die. Having said that it is I my mind not totally foolproof.
Now there are a few other temp measuring programs besides Speccy and I think you will find that they do not all tend to agree with each others readouts but still within reasonable tolerances.
Yes well just installing an OS I think the temps are a tad on the high side my old Toshiba I am on now is considerably lower on temps than yours and it has only just woken from sleep. (see pic)
I do not know but depending on the age of the machine and the environment it has operated in would have some influence on the amount of crud inside hence less than optimum cooling.
Do you feel confident enough to disassemble and clean it?
