Drug stores sell it, for putting it in cuts and whatever, it's like $1 for half a litre. Acetone (Nail polish remover) works too, I've also used carburetor cleaner, though it's probably not your best option.

OT: if its overheating, put some di electric grease (Silicone lube) on the fan spindle. It's non conductive. Thermal paste on the heat sync as others have said, but are you getting a blue screen of any sort? Are you sure the battery just isn't shorting out? I've had a couple laptops just shut off like that after using it because it puts too much of a draw on the battery, replacing it will fix the issue.
