Yeah, something's wrong with my laptop and I want to fix it myself with your help instead of wasting my time having it fixed at other place.
My laptop kept getting HELL hot when I use it, and I dont even use laptop on my lap. I give laptop cool air to clean air while using it instead stuffing it hot.
But yet it keep shutting down even when im in middle of skype call which is so annoying
do you think if i restart everything on the laptop, it will stop shutting down by itself? what do you possibly think are the reason for that?

I have 3 Acer laptops, and I've had the same issue as well. You need to clean the vents because of all the dust clogging up the airflow. It doesn't hurt to spend 10-20$ on a laptop cooler also.
What he/TheQuagmire said. ↑ + I'd recommend & advise opening it up (unplugged & battery out & carefully without losing the tiny screws) & cleaning the fan's blades with a wet wipe or 2.
And if you've got some good thermal paste, scrape/remove/wipe off the old & ye apply the new to both the CPU & GPU (if both spots had paste on to begin with) (underneath it connects to the copper looking heat spreader that leads to the fan), if Acer laptops insides are like Vaios
