Maybe you can use a laptop cooler or place a fan to cool it.

@op; follow these steps:

> start your PC and keep it idle for 3-4 mins.
> run HWinfo and take a full screenshot of all readings.
> run some heavy games for ~5 mins.
> run HWinfo and take a full screenshot of all readings.
> post both sceenshots.

I think OP is having in taking screenshot because HWinfo's window contains too many readings and OP needs to scroll and take multiple screenshots.

@OP; if the above stated reason is correct, you can use Open hardware Monitor. It has a much smaller window size which can be captured in a single screenshot. Also, whenever you say that you are having problem, post the problem too.
