Laptop temperatures...

I have a Gateway laptop that isn't more than 1 1/2 years old. It seems to be overheating during video/gaming use. The laptop will freeze, repeat audio sound and requires being manually restarted. I downloaded a temp monitoring program (speedfan) and I seem to be hovering around 60c under load. From what I understand that isn't to terrible, but I'm not entirely sure how accurate this program is. I've tried cleaning dust out of the laptop (of which there was not much) and I also purchased a cooling pad, hoping that might provide some relief, but to no avail.


Any tips/suggestions would be awesome!
 
60 isn't bad could be better but... would go about updating all your drivers to start with...have you noticed any temp changes with the work you have done to it? a model/spec list would be nice
 
I didn't start monitoring temperatures until after cleaning dust/buying the cooling pad. But it still restarts like clockwork (10 minutes into a game or movie). The laptop is a gateway. Windows Vista, Intel Core Duo 2.0ghz ATI Radeon 2600 GPU. I forget the exact model # of the laptop.

For what its worth, when I boot up my older laptop (an HP) and run speed fan on this thing, my temperatures are 53, 67 and 64. 67 and 64 being Core 0 and Core 1, respectively. (Not sure the difference between core 0/1 though?)
