The AC adapter for the computer could be faulty thus preventing the computer from charging. To test this remove the battery from the laptop and plug it in and attempt to power on. If it does not power on you most likely have a faulty AC cable.

When I plug the device in to charge windows does not detect that it is charging.

Ensure that all plugs are firmly seated into the power brick, Laptop and power outlet.

The battery may be defective and unable to charge, in order to check this remove the battery and hold the power button down for about 15 seconds to drain any residual power from the device. Then, with the battery still removed plug in the power cable and turn the laptop on. If the laptop powers on without the battery and only the AC adapter it most likely is a faulty battery. However, please reseat the battery and plug it back in to charge to double check it was not a seating issue. If you need to replace the battery, follow this link.

Power down the PC and allow 5-10 minutes for hardware to cool down. Reboot the computer and figure out what load the computer is under that causes the hardware to overheat. Having too many programs running at once, or very hardware intensive programs running can cause over heating if your hardware is not cooled adequately.

Ensure that when using your device that you do not have it resting on bedding or carpet. This prevents airflow to the device and will cause it to heat rapidly. It is recommended to have the device rest on anything that is not a cloth based surface. If the problem persists, purchasing a 3rd party laptop fan rest may help increase air flow underneath the laptop.

There is most likely a large amount of dust buildup in the fan cover and should be cleaned. Either just by wiping it down with a cloth or with an air duster blowing the dust out of the vents.
