This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of temsirolimus and metformin hydrochloride in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced or metastatic). Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Metformin hydrochloride is a drug used to treat diabetes that may also prevent or slow the growth of cancers. Giving temsirolimus and metformin hydrochloride together may kill more tumor cells.
