Yeah it can be overheating but the deal is that i can play Dota 2 / CS:GO and other games for like 5 hours and my pc works fine even with max FPS/Texture details.. but in UrT i cant even play 5 minutes thats the problem.
The games you've mentioned are very recent and would be optimised for multiple cores, especially something like DOTA. Urban Terror is not, it is based on an engine which was made when multiprocessing was not found in pcs. Your i7 should be making use of turbo boost to boost its performance for a single core game, which other games probably aren't doing. The rendering in UrT is also heavily CPU dependent, while other games are presumably making better use of your laptop's GPU. Finally these other games would be made using Direct X, while UrT is using OpenGL. I don't know if one or any of these are causing your issues but they may be factors.
In terms of solving this, you can try cleaning out your laptop (daunting, I've been putting off doing it myself), checking that you have the latest drivers and maybe trying some of the alternate clients that are available, such as
p5ch0runn3r's builds.
