Of course encoding movies etc. use lot of CPU.
My old pc use to over heat playing counter strike source and only counter strike source. Which turned out to be heating prob.
Graphics card was getting to hot along with my processor 
P.s
Can u provide the full spec of your laptop or link to your laptop or the make and model of your laptop.
thanks
I agree, but, since Nagamasa specifically mentioned Vista I figured that while CPU utilisation may be higher with the same game under Vista compared to XP etc, it's insignificant considering how busy the CPU is running the game alone. By that logic, changing the operating system should not make that kind of heat difference.

This should be your problem.. You can't hope for that video card to cope with games set at high resolutions..
I remember when I had a whole 2 meg of graphics ram! Back in those days [I was about ten], the ammount of graphics ram decided more than anything what resolutions you could run at, and /everyone/ knew that there was not much point to having more than 1600x1200 so you'd never need a bigger graphics card. crazy how things change.
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
