It can be. Your laptop is very close to the minimum spec, so it makes sense that it will struggle to run the game. If your vid card begins to over-heat, you'll likely see your screen become all pixelated and rainbow-coloured, at which point you'll have to stop playing.

Hey, i've got a great idea for you and you're laptop. Research "Undervolting". I've done it using RM Clock, and ORthos stress testing. It will cut you're temps by 10-20 degrees....and you won't loose any performance! Look it up.

thats a good idea waterwizard!

Undervolting only reduces the temp of the cpu not the gpu and it will only decrease the overall heat by a little. Still you should undervolt as you can lengthen the time you get off the laptop. Try cleaning out the laptop by cleaning out all the dust out of the laptop. Also get a laptop cooler such as the zalman.
