The best solution is to get a laptop cooling pad. Basically, they are just a pad to put under the laptop that has extra fans that usually plugs into the laptop's USB ports for power. That should hopefully allow for enough cooling to keep your laptop from slowing down.
Local electronic stores will have them in the $20-30 range... but if you go through places like Newegg, you can find some as low as $10.
I was thinking about that just right know. I will buy one soon, thanks for the advice.

Start the task manager and see how much cpu usage used. Try checking your core temp with some 3rd party software.
No you don't need cooling pad if you take good care of your laptop, and some laptop are not meant to run at 100% processor load all the time. FPS can also go down if your laptop goes to a power saving mode.
Yes, between 2 and 5 minutes. It was purchased on January, 2012, so... a year and a half approximately. I have never cleaned my fan because my computer presents some difficulty when opening. Apparently it is some kind of badly fixed internal piece. I tried this morning again, but no luck. I will go to an informatic store and see if they can open it.

Actually, it is always in high performance.

Here you are. What it is strange is that CPU does not go further 35-40% Power... What do you think? Thank you all for your answers
