Laptop Running Too Hot?

I've noticed my laptop has been pretty damn hot the last while. The fan is always on high and the surface gets pretty warm. I decided to do a little bit of investigating and noticed that while it sits at idle, it will reach the following temperatures:

GPU: 67*
Core1: 75*
Core2: 75*

Under load, it jumps past the following:

GPU: 70*
Core1: 80*
Core2: 80*

Now, I'll be the first to admit that I dont know much about computers, but both sets of numbers seem abnormally high, especially when it's sitting at idle with only the basic background programs running.

It's an HP dv6755. The only thing changed was a hard drive upgrade. The rest of the shell hasn't been opened, and the machine itself hasn't gone through any hard shocks or falls.

Thoughts?
