I’m playing fallout 3 with no lag on medium with 800×600, 8x AA, No Anisotropic Filtering, HDR. My GPU can make High too but my problem here is that suddenly when i play, i get somekind of leak in the cpu. The game goes slow, fast, slow, fast slow, fast. I have to go to the menu and wait a bit and then play again for 2 min and it happens again 
This is because the CPU cache is getting full. CPU may run slow when its over heated.
My pc runs at 70+ degrees. Thats baad. When im not playing its about 67 degrees. So i think its a problem there. For some months ago my GPU died and i bought a new one 8600m gt 512mb, my old one was 8600m gs 256mb witch was slow. But…. the cooling pasta was removed and we didn’t add a new one… CAN THIS BE THE PROBLEM?! Do i need to add a new piece if cooling pasta? The pc is currently in my room witch is cold. Very cold. Im using it as a desktop but only a big screen connected to it and external disk + keyboard & mouse. Will it work to put a fan next to my pc? lol.
I got the problem away for a while while i was running with AA on 4x but it looked horrible?!!? Whats best? Higher resolution with no AA or low resolution with AA?
So, basically my question is:
Why do i get those "slowdowns" ?
How can i reduce/remove it?
Is this caused by heat?
I didn’t have any of those problems while i got my old GPU still working =(

Please read the whole question. I made it as detailed as i could 
I just got this laptop about a week ago. Im curious as to how good it is based on my needs. Right now it blazingly fast even after anti-virus and all those annoying auto-updates and programs that run in the background

i basically use it to run office word/spreadsheet/powerpoint. browse the internet. watch tons of video files (youtube, divx, movies, megashare). i sometimes use photoshop along with other adobe files but rarely. also the laptop remains completley stationary on my desk the whole time, i rarely ever travel with it (like never) but want the mobility option.
when i bought it i only paid 1400 for it after taxes due to coupon codes i had and i dont play games, never have never will
