if i turn down the graphics will i be able to play?

That could help a little or in the short term, but it doesn't sound like it is a problem where you have the graphics too high. Usually that will only cause stuttering or a crash of the game not the turn off your PC.

What are your laptop's specs? How old is it?

That is the program that I mentioned about measuring your Cpu/Video Card temps by the way. Only use it for measuring temps though, it also controls your fan speeds or soft overclocks your cpu/video card and if you mess with them you can get much worst problems than what you have now.
