Still problems with M60 and games slowing down.

Well, i have tried everything that i can think of as of right now. After I play any game that requires some type of 3D graphics for about 10 minutes, the game starts to run terribly slow. I believe that the problem may be due to overheating on it. Because right before it starts to go slow, i can hear the fan inside turn on really high. eventually if i let the game go and try to continue playing (which is almost impossible, cause the game turns into a slide show) it eventually goes back to normal, but then after another few minutes it happens again.

Now IS there ANY way to set it so that the vid card DOESN'T slow down like that?
I mean, how do you properly cool a laptop? i have it in the D/port replicator thingy, so the bottom of the laptop really isnt even touching the table. i find it hard to believe that if i continue playing, i would cause damage to the vid card. Is this a vid card BIOS settings that makes it slow down, or is it a driver setting?

I cannot even play my SNES emulator games because even THEY slow down. i find it hard to believe that a SNES emulator would cause a vid card to overheat.

there has to be a way to disable this.

PLEASE anyone.....

thanks
