Overheating laptop

Can anyone advise on what can be done to stop a laptop overheating continuously?
I've done the obvious things - vacuumed and airblown the vents - I've replaced the battery - the laptop is on a hard surface.
It's run off the mains. It doesn't have many programs loaded being used mainly for internet searching and emailing.
The device was bought about six years ago. The continuous overheating started some months ago. It is so bad that the laptop turns off after a minute or so use when looking at Google Earth. It is very slow loading certain sites such as PPrune !
