I was having issues with my 580m. Some programs weren't switching when it should. I ended up flashing the modded A08 BIOS and disabling the integrated graphics. Ever since then I've had no issues. Granted my battery life has shortened, but I use it plugged in 90% of the time, so that wasn't an issue.

is that the only way to fix this problem?

You could try and delete your graphics drivers, reboot into safe mode and run ccleaner, then reboot and do a clean install of your video drivers.

just noticed my motherbroad temperature is 90c+ when playing game , and 70c idle, is this normal?

Hmm...I'm not too familiar with this but AFAIK, the northbridge functions on all Sandy Bridge processors are performed on the CPU. So I don't think there's a separate northbridge. Someone more knowledgeable in this aspect may correct me but I believe your CPU may be overheating due to one or more of several reasons including bad paste job, dirty heatsink, broken fan/disconnected fan, etc.
You GPU may be overheating as well. What are the temps on the GPU?
Out of curiosity, what monitoring program are you using? -
its called 360 Safeguard, my gpu was around 65c and cpu around 60c when playing game .
