Unfortunately, modern,poweful computers generate a lot of heat.

To see if the fan is running fast to keep the temperature down or if it could run more slowly, try downloading PC Wizard:

And check the CPU temperature at idle and under load (playing a game or playing a DVD) and let us know how hot it gets.  It is probably the case that a high fan rate is required to prevent the Vaio overheating and to prevent CPU shutdown.
