Cause of MBP heat stroke?
#4
Are the fans CLEAN? Did you blast the fans last time you opened it up? This is the first step - open the computer and look at the fan - blast canned air until dust stops coming out.

A standard test at the apple store can ascertain if the fans are reaching the proper speed.

Beyond that... I've seen crappy RAM get really hot and I've seen HDDs get very, very hot when something is very wrong with them, but they are usually showing signs of failure by then.

Download an run SMART Utility and see if it shows and errors.
