Got my g550jk like 5-6 months ago. Around 3 months ago, it started overheating (I could barely touch some areas, but HWmonitor showes usually 68ish, sometimes gets to 80ish though). Around a week ago, Random BSOD's started(couple times a day), and laptop seems burning after half an hour of not the most intense use (less performance suckin games like dota2, or software like Photoshop/Visual studio). Anyone has any suggestions?
The thing is that for first two-three months of use, my laptop NEVER overheated - it always was so cool around it, and when turned on additional fanspeed at gputweak, you could feel how cold it was.
Using default windows 8.1/with all default drivers, only updated Nvidia one.

Thanks for advice! I had the power settings you suggested, except using i used high performace - but doesnt balanced decrease game performance? I'll try using balanced for now and see how stuff works, just kinda felt bad since laptop was so "cold" first couple of months(and ran on high performance like a pro), and now it is a burning train.
Forgot to mention that BSOD's are not bound to overheating, i got bosd once simply after 5 mins of turning on computer. The most often BSOD happens during skype conversation/google chrome, but sometimes randomly when watching movie/using MS word, etc.

Thanks hmscott, followed your suggestions.
I have 850 m video
Balanced power mode helped with heat when laptop used intel video card(movies, etc).
However when PC uses Nvidia card, it still burns hot - heats up in like 20-30 minutes
