I left it on for weeks at a time, not a good idea I know, and turned it off last night and while I was at school today. It performs the same, it's not hot (at least not right now), I dunno.
Sounds like the battery is dying. Like on it's way out. How old is the computer and is the battery original to it?

I had the exact same problem last month and I ordered a new battery online. No issues now.
