Well I'm guessing if it overheats...you don't have enough air circulation through it. There isn't much you can do about it, since it's a laptop, and not something you can just pop a few fans into.

Although, you can try to open it up, and clean off any dust it may have.

You are saying you have been able to play L4D before, but it just recently started overheating?

If that's the case, like I said, open up your laptop and make sure there is no dust in it. Always keep it in a ventilated area.

Maybe TF2 requires less power than L4D, therefore not as much heat is being exerted.

What changed?

Are you playnig on a new surface?
Have you tried a laptop lap cooler to see if that helps? I have a lap cooler I use to keep the temps down so Intel SpeedStep does not kick in and slow things down.
