Laptop CPU extremely hot, no idea why

I have an Asus laptop with an I7-3632qm cpu that is overheating. It gets to almost 100c and when it does this the computer runs really slow and glitchy. The laptop itself would be way too hard to take apart, is there anything I can do besides blow some compressed air inside while it's off?

The only thing I can think of is 2 months ago I replaced the dead hard drive with a WD Scorpio 500gb, and the part of the laptop by the hard drive gets meltingly hot. Could this have anything to do with it?
