I don't understand this question as Windoze doesn't run any cooler.  In fact 
it seems to raise the user's personal temperature!  It sure makes his 
language different!  I'd suspect rather that your cooling fan for the laptop 
has given up for some reason or the inlet and/or outlet is blocked.   I have 
seen where people who wear clothing and use their laptops on their laps fill 
their machines up with lint!  You could also run "system monitor" and find 
out which process is using the most cpu time.
