Question regarding temperature and things

Ive been having issues with my laptop in that when I play World of Warcraft my laptop will suddenly hibernate and this only happens with WoW. People told me that this could be related to over heating so I downloaded CoreTemp to see.

The image shows the temperature at idle (just MSN and Firefox running though) and my specs of my laptop.

I was also wondering, what is the number % directly opposite of the temperature? (the 6% and 8%)
Is the temperature too hot? And if so, how to fix?

Thanks

First i would check if the fan is running. Next i would grab a can of air, turn off the computer, and clean out the fans. if it still doesn't help i would look into replacing that fan or buying a notebook cooler.

i believe your cpu needs to be 15-20 degrees less than Tj. Max.

since those are just idle temps, i am sure the load temps will be much higher, i strongly suggest you follow the steps above.

Ah ok, Im not much of a tech person, but is there a way to check the fan?

just listen closely to the laptop, at those temps the fan should be pretty loud

Put your hand near the exhaust vents feel if air is coming out of it or not.

turn off the computer. buy a can of compressed air, read the directions on the can, and spray into the vents of the computer you should see a lot of dust come out.
