Have you changed the thermal compound by yourself? The cuplrit could be the inner cooling system; a bend or a small dent in the heatpipe leads to an obstructed flow inside. Verify the system and if you observe any deterioration buy a new one (just be sure it is the exact model as yours)...

Thanks for your answer but i am already using a cooling pad with 2 120cm fan it still has this problem it not evn under mutch stress just browsing the internet or watching a movie in a aircon room it must be something wrong because before the old mobo broke down it never had this problem even th power supply gets real hot to the point that cannot touch it the same for the laptop.

EDIT: the laptop inner cooling fan is working? Maybe the fan connector got unplugged from the motherboard.

i bought 2 toshibas and both of them were overheating, amd cpu and toshiba is the worsed combination, What i did was to send them back to the toshiba store and they changed the fan with a different one. it only worked for 2 months..
