You shouldn't put your laptop on your lap. Your clothing can block the intact vents. You should put your laptop on a cooling pad:

The cooling pad in turn you can put on your lap or your couch, coffee table, bed, etc.

The fans on laptops are controlled by the manufacturer and kick in at given temperatures. To prevent your laptop from turning off when it gets too hot you can use Intel Powerclamp. Additionally you should be using thermald and tlp.
