This has been an issue since I got the laptop. I've formatted, I've installed the latest nvidia drivers, I've set global settings and specific game settings to use the nvidia video, and it still happens. In demanding games like Assassin's Creed II, Mass Effect (but not Mass Effect 2) and Saints Row The Third, it goes fine for a couple minutes, then it gets drops. 60 fps to 10 fps, then 3 seconds later back up again. Then repeats, anywhere from every minute to every 20 seconds. Saints Row gradually becomes unplayable, it has the worst of it. I've tested with GPU-Z and HWMonitor, GPU is 70 degrees C under load and CPU is only about 60 degrees C. So I have no idea what this is. Some program that's been hiding in the background, faulty hardware, I don't know.
Lately it's also been getting hotter, although I'm not sure if that was caused by the room it was in or what. The laptop isn't even 2 months old.
