Unhappy Toshiba Problems....PLEASE HELP!!

Ok so here's the scenario...I brought a toshiba satellite laptop since I was starting college, and needed one, but ever since i got it I have had a shit load fo problems with it and the warranty is up. Can anyone help me with the following issues...?

1.) Computer shuts off when importing music from a CD onto the comptuer (ITunes)
2.) Computer shuts down when trying to run anti-virus or any computer cleaning software>
3.) Computer fans are really loud, but I can only run my computer when the fans are on full power or else it shuts off.
4.) Computer periodically freezes...and delays or freezing also occurs when using AIM
5.) Audio sound doesn't always work...ie when coming back from hibernation mostly, or a start up there is no volume and the computer has to be restarted to get sound.
6.)Computer just randomly shuts off...

The computer is no more than 2 yrs old at the most....can anyone help me or give me some really GOOD advice?

Is it even fixable or should I not go through the hassle and just buy a new one?

Thanks!!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As far as fixing overheating issues in a laptop, I can't really offer any advice there, since you can't simply add fans to it. Do these things happen when you have the laptop sitting on a table that allows good air flow or is it just when it's, say, sitting on a bed/blanket where there is difficulty in air flow?
My laptop is sitting on my desk, i don't use it in bed at all...and i thought that maybe air wasn't able to circulate under it while it was flat on the desk so i used 2 post-it pads to lift the back so it tilted forward a bit, and air could get underneath better but that isn't working it still shuts off...

Double Post:
but i also don't understand why it shuts off EVERY TIME that i try to import or burn a cd onto my computer...?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So i should get an external fan then?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
