    So I got this new Asus a53sm a couple of weeks ago and I'm totally satisfied with it. The graphic card it's equipped with is a Nvidia geforce GT 630M 2g (plus intel card=optimus tech) and it is strong enough to run bulky high-res games like the sims 3 smoothly and bug-free. One single issue I'm dealing with here is when it's been a while playing such games and the gpu temp is wandering around 70C, this is the point where i experience graphical issues like colorful triangles,spikes and bars all over the screen when I zoom into certain spots within the game (in sims 3). so I installed speedfan to increase my fan speed a lil bit though it doesn't recognize no fans at all. I tried to fix it through guides across the internet, no luck though. I'll be really thankful if you could offer any suggestions. my thanks in advance :)

    Sounds you need to get the laptop replaced or fixed.
