Any idea why and how I can fix this?
Also - I seen a few news reports about laptop catching on fire. Could this happen to me? I currently don't have the battery in to see if it helps any, i just have it plugged in.

tell me its NOT a sony laptop? if so, same thing happened to me 100 times before i figured out the problem.
the problem is the cooling fan from the processor gets clogged with dust, dirt, baby seals, etc. so you have to take the whole piece apart, clean it out, and your good for a few weeks and repeat.

In most cases this phenomenon occurs due to accumulation of dirt in the computer's CPU cooling system.

if you dont have a sony, could be the same thing. just google the make/model and "over heat" and you should find some answers
