Overworking a system won't cause overheating issues unless it's overclocked and/or insufficiently cooled. When using your laptop, make sure you have it resting on a hard surface (no carpets, chairs or bedding) and that it gets proper ventilation.
Also check for dust buildup, as has been mentioned. If you can, crack it open and check the heatsink on the graphics chip directly; in smokers homes or pet-ridden domiciles dust can build up between the fins, turning that big copper heatsink into a giant insulating blanket.
