I suggest you check your CPU usage in the TaskManager tab.Is your laptop running hot even if it's on idle?

If you are surfing the net with your laptop on a soft surface,I suggest you do surfing on a table because a soft surface will hinder the airflow inside your laptop.Is your fan running loud if you surf the net?
