So running on another OS for a longer time has the temperature of your
laptop staying at around 80C? That sounds awfully high. Maybe you just need
to clean out the fans and airways inside the laptop and the timing is just
a coincidence.
Just make sure the fan does not turn (by blocking it with a toothpick or
the like) when blowing compressed air through the case or vacuuming out
dustbunnies so the bearing does not get damaged.
