    Can you descibe the problem in a little more depth? I understand the full meaning of what you wrote, but I don't know if the problem is heat related, or otherwise your notebook. What are your notebook's specs?

    Not a heat problem - it must either be your GPU or RAM from the information you've given me. Try updating the driver for the GPU and see if that has any effect.
