Any issues using a dock?

I tried asking this on advice board, but I barely got any replies, none of them helpful whatsover.
I recently got a Dell Latitude E7240. It's running on i5-4210U, 8gb of ram and is overall a pretty good machine, considering I got it for something like 180£. But I've noticed very unusual overheating when I play any sort of games. It doesn't matter if it is Morrowind or Fallout New Vegas, it has similarly high temperatures, which is odd considering Morrowind is very old and has barely any strain on a modern computer. I've tried it with all sorts of different games, both old and fairly recent, and the laptop overheats like hell no matter whatever game I run. It seems like any sort of graphical demands overheats it. The games run fine, even more modern things run pretty smoothly, so it isn't like the hardware deal with it. At any rate, I uninstalled the drivers for the intergrated graphics card and got new ones up, but the update made no difference. Next logical guess was that the fan must be full of dust, but opening the laptop up only showed me that it was nearly spotlessly clean inside. So what could be causing it? I'm nearly 100% sure something as old as Morrowind, Gothic 2 or Half life/Half Life 2 could never be so demanding as to make the laptop overheat. I'd get it that it would probably heat up quite a lot while playing Crusader Kings 2 or anything modern ( which I tried, runs fine, just heats a fuck ton ), but not with old shit. I thought I'd ask here. Thanks for any possible help.

it's a 1.70 GHz dual core with 15W TDP while small laptops like the x220 use a 35W processor
maybe your processor has dried semen as thermal compound or the fan is full of crap, try cleaning the fan.
