    Have you checked the temps of the GPU and CPU? These machines need to be cleaned out regularly in order for the cooling to operate efficiently.........

    you want to google "powermizer switch", download it, run that program and set powermizer to off on ac and battery through the pop-up window. See if that helps. If it doesn't you might have to use Nibitor to edit your vbios and change the 2d and 3d settings to a more stable clock.
