I've had a couple older laptops with heat issues (the P4 HP comes to mind) and the monitoring software (I use speedfan and cpu-z too) didn't always show much issue. Normally I have 2 ways I'd check if it was heat related. I have a couple mini fans made for laptops that have adjustable clamps to hold them over the small fan exhaust ports and a thin retractable usb plug to power them. On my old P4, if I ran that extra blower fan all the issues I normally had went away. The other would be to use one of those thin metal laptop stands that have a couple movable fans so you can adjust them for where the intake grates are on the laptop.
