Overheating problems

Well it all starts when I try to play games like Counter strike source or half life 2 deathmatch that I randomly get lag spikes that last for about 10 minutes but can sometimes last longer, I am thinking its an overheating problem.
Its an Acer Aspire 7720z, and also if it is an overheating problem is there a fan controlling software that I could use to bring the speed up? Thanks for all the help.

Speedfan may work.
Otherwise you could get a "cooling dock" for the laptop. About $20.
