I solved my overheating issue. It had nothing to do with overheating at all. Apparently, the last time I returned my laptop to apple for service, they never tightened down all the screws under the keyboard all the way. What was happening was keys on the keyboard were then hitting this screw and some how put the computer to sleep. I tightened the screw and the problem went away.
