Clean the heatsink over the cpu with compressed air and make sure the fan is working.
(The Presario 6000 is a desktop pc. If you ment it when you said laptop, its a Presario v6000. Here is a service manual for the Presario v6000)

Appears the internal components of your laptop is getting too hot. Please keep in mind you can "fry" you laptop when the components get too hot often.
Reason: Over time dust and other air particles can become built up inside a laptop, which causes it to overheat. Which in turn makes your laptop work harder, as well as causes the fan to go on in an attempt to cool down the laptop.
Solution: Make sure there is enough room between your laptop and any surface you put it on so you don't obstruct the vents located around your laptop.
It might also be a good idea, if you haven't already, to purchase a can of compressed air (found at just about any retail store). Use the can according to the directions, and with the extended red tip on. Blow out all the vents on your laptop (especially around the fan area). As well as around the keyboard, speaker, etc.
If after this, you notice the laptop is still overheating often, then you may want to take it to a computer repair place where they can open the laptop and remove the dust around the components. (Usually requires a nominal fee)
Hope this helps
