Macbook Pro 15" Mid-2010 Constantly Overheating/Crashing

Hi all,


Been having some serious issues for the past week. Multiple times a day my Macbook Pro will crash. Sometimes I'll be in a program and it will simply freeze up completely. Sometimes it will shut itself off. Most of the time, I will shut the computer (without turning it off) and it will begin to seriously overheat. If I open it, it will have a black screen yet still be running, forcing me to do a force shut down. I cannot find any logs indicating that this is being caused by kernal panics.


Besides these issues, it just has this very general slowness with everything. Really slow booting up, really slow opening programs, etc. Lots of spinning rainbows. Here's some info about my laptop:

Actually, after doing some more digging, it turns out there was at least one kernal panic about a week ago, which I posted below.


Besides that however, I cannot find specific kernal panic logs. However, I got a whole lot of this the last time I crashed:

......... (I got this dozens of times from the time when it last crashed)


And here's the old kernal panic:
