Microsoft Windows 11

My laptop is overheating like crazy, and it even shuts down sometimes because of the overheating. One time because of the overheating it lagged so hard I had to restart it and that killed my hard drive, so I had to change it afterwards. Can someone suggest what I can do? I have a cooling pad and a Nvidia GeForce Rtx 3050, the problem is that gaming laptops are not good with those overheating like crazy video cards in them and the fans are facing backwards which is an even bigger problem.
