    I have a G72GX-RBBX05 Asus laptop. Everything worked perfect for a little longer than a year (I bought it used though). Anyway, every time I play a game, the video starts to lag. I'm pretty pretty sure the sound is regular but the video starts lagging after about 5 mins of playing. I have no idea what to do since I bought it second hand so I cant take it back or anything. Here are my temps. [​IMG] I'm not a genius with computer but im also not a newb. So if you try to help me I promise I wont be like "oh whats that mean" "explain explain explain". I'm guessing maybe update the video driver but I'm not possitive where to do that and I dont want to mess anythign up. Any suggestions will help my brainstorm. Thank you in advance.

    What games are you trying to run and at what resolution? You could be pushing your system too hard. The temperatures look reasonable.

    Clean your vents..
    Update all your drives

    What type of surface is the laptop on?
    Can you remove the battery and plug it in and play and do you get the same lag?
