    Why dont you provide the specs of your laptop along with an idle time shot @ power on using HWMonitor. Play your game and after you finish take another shot of HWMonitor so we can compare.

    What NV Display driver are you currently running?

    Do you have adequate free-airflow to the bottom of the system? Have you given the vents a shot of compressed air lately?

    As you can see, multiple questions.

    To give you an idea, this is where my idle temps are @ the moment -
