It would be helpful knowing your exact model as different series have different issues. If you can force the system to restart go into About This Mac and copy the serial number from it and paste it into here: EveryMac - Lookup. Then paste the given systems URL here for us to see what you have.

Hope This Helps:

1)Make sure no vents are blocked

2)Put on desk or solid surface

3) Restart computer by holding down power button

"Ok, just read another posting with same problem and I think I may have fixed my problem. The overheating resolved after I put the laptop on the table. I may need a lap top cooling pad for future use if I want to rest the laptop on my lap. I also just held down the power button for 10 seconds and the laptop unfroze and shut down."
