Could be a bad fan, it could be a heat sink full of crap, or it could be that you are smothering it by blocking the air vents. When I use mine in my lap, I have to shift it a little to the left so that I don't block the vents, yet many people have no qualms against setting their laptops on a soft surface (lap, couch, bed...).
There is also a slim chance that your battery is defective. Double-check to make sure that there are no recalls on your battery.

Get a cooling pad or a cooling fan. Vaio laptops look good but are crap and you'll usually find it'll start to go in a few months time as the heat buildup starts killing componenets.
If you have a warrenty I suggest you use it otherwise you could find it's not worth the mone getting better fans.

Could be all of the above. They do make laptop cooling pad that helps keep them from over heating.
Just google that and see what I mean.

You're reading I have a Sony Vaio laptop that heats up a lot!! It feels like it'll catch fire any minute. Anyone knows why that is and how it can be helped? Thanks!!
