Recently I noticed that my Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop has been getting extremely hot, even while idling. I use a cooling pad underneath the laptop so there should be no reason for my cores to be getting this hot. I Idle at around 75C, and when i run something like flash player, or even Microsoft Office, i run at ~95C... I have opened up the computer, cleaned it all out and put it back together, but it only reduced my temps by about 1C.
Here are some pictures of my temperatures:

So could anyone recommend a way to bring the temps down? I have to deal with this laptop for at least 2 more years so I don't want it to fail on me before i can buy a new computer.
P.S. The fan in it is also very loud, as if it's slightly tilted, making the rotating pin vibrate producing a very shrill high pitched squeal.
