macbook overheating and shutting down

My macbook keeps overheating and shutting down. CleanMyMacX shows that my CPU usage is almost always at 100% and the temps can range from 150*-190*. I've tried looking through Activity Monitor and the highest one is usually kernel_task which is usually around 700mb. I've included my EtreCheck report if that helps.

Hi,

Try to run Apple Hardware Test as extended if it report something.

and resetting SMC if it works.

I just wonder if cooling fans is working in your MacBook Pro.
