Hello, I own a Dell Alienware m17x-R3 with an Nvidia GTX 560M graphics card and an i7-2860QM CPU @2.50ghz as well as 8GB of RAM. I have had the laptop for about 3 years now and recently in the past few months my FPS in every single game has dropped horribly. I have already reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate and thoroughly cleaned my laptop's fans with compressed air. I have made sure all my drivers are up to date as well. I have used Alienware Autopsy to detect my CPU's temperature and while the PC is idle, its temperatures are around 60-70 C, 70-80 when gaming. This seems ridiculously high for an idle computer with no extra processes running other than what comes with the PC. I'm not sure if this is the problem but all I know is that I have wiped my PC 3 times in the past and I have felt like this problem keeps getting worse and worse. I was able to run Star Wars: The Old Republic on ultra settings, crystal clear when I first got the PC, now I have to reduce them to medium and I still get too much lag. I would like help if possible.
