I have an issue with my MacBook Pro, recently overheating and fan does not stop for while. I haven’t checked the battery since I bought on 2012. Sometimes, overheat causes freeze
Try replacing the thermal paste. Apple’s thermal paste is not very good at effectively cooling their computers, even the newer models. I had a similar issue with my mid-2009 MacBook Pro, where just opening a website would shoot the temperature up to 180°! I replaced it with some thermal take thermal paste and the temperatures would max out at 140°. You could also try installing Macs Fan control which allows you to control when your fan will start to spin faster or just to spin fast all the time. I would recommend setting your custom setting to CPU proximity and the min to 100° and the max being 132°.
