Laptop Overheating

Hey,
My brother has a EasyNote MZ36-T011 laptop, and recently his laptop has been shutting down randomly, due to overheating I believe. He's had it for about a year.
His laptop has always blown out exceptionally hot air out of the fan on the left, but he's never had any problems with overheating. At first I suspected it may be automatic shutdown due to system failure, but having enabled the BSOD to appear instead, it still shut down.
Having downloaded SpeedFan (www.almico.com/speedfan), it is showing his hard drive is operating at 40°c and has a green tick next to it. I'm assuming this means it's fine
Next to Core 0 and Core 1 (I'm assuming his two processor cores), they're operating at 63°c, and this has no green tick, but a little fire symbol next to it. Not good, I'm guessing.
Finally, next to a field that simply states "Temp1", it's at a massive 83°c. Again, not good. So does it need a new fan? Should I take it back to PC World for them to repair it? Although I suspect that they'll try to overcharge me for their lame PC Techs service...
So what is the average temperature the inside of a laptop should be running at? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Packard Bell laptops do tend to run quite hot though.
How can it draw cool air in from underneath when surely the laptop is placed on some kind of surface?
40c is not out of the ordinary for a hard drive,infact i'd say it is a perfectly ordinary temperature,nothing to worry about there.
The fans are built to last years of service,they are also a custom design,and not easily replaceable.Five years to seven years service from a fan is not unheard of.
It is perfectly normal for hot air to be blowing out from the laptop.
i've just downloaded speedfan,the temperatures it is reporting correspond to other softwares i've got so it all looks okay.
The flame on mine is for a 51c,anything above 50c has a flame icon by the looks of it.
That's exactly why it's a problem for me, because the surface my laptop on remains used only for a laptop, so dust accumulates underneath it [having two dogs and a cat doesn't help] and it regularly gets filled with dust.
