Question about Sharp Notevision PG-C45X Multimedia Projector
Two possibilities:
1) Air filter is clogged and preventing proper air flow
2) Lamp is getting old and is less efficient, creating excess heat.
For option 1, check the air filter located on the bottom of the projector. Page 81 of the manual details this process:

Once you have removed filter,either replace or clean out with vacuum or simply blowing out the dust
Option 2: if you have used the projector for over 1500 hours, there is a good chance the lamp is close to the end of its life cycle. Check to see if the lamp replacement light is on; it is just below the power button on the unit.
If you are feeling adventurous, you can take out the lamp by following the instructions on page 86 of the manual: http://www.wrcs.k12.mi.us/Technology/How%20Tos/Ceiling%20Projectors%20PGC45X.pdf
Once removed from the unit, see if the lamp has any bubbles or crystallization. The crystallization makes the mirror in the lamp look muddled, rather than crisply reflecting light.
Hope this helps.
