Hello, folks!
First of all, I have read a lot about the problem I am having, and nothing seems to fix this. So, i sought help. I will try and explain everything that happened to me, as precise as I can.
I bought this Toshiba Qosmio laptop as of February/2012, but it got into a little trouble which caused me to send it to Toshiba. I received it again by August/2012, and since then I have been using him, mainly for gaming. What has been happening is this massive stuttering, which started in a somewhat progressive fashion. By the time, I used to play Battlefield 3 and League of Legends, and the thing between these games is that Battlefield is by far more heavy for the computer than League. So, the stutter started happening first in battlefield 3, with an always-increasing frequency, making it completely inviable to play. My computer should run it with stats ranging medium to high, but even at low the stutters existed, and with the same frequency.
After a while, it started happening in League of Legends too. The measure I took later on was to clean my notebook on the inside, removing all the dust from the fan. As it turns out, it completely solved the problem, for real. But that was only for less than 2 months, and then it started again, on every single game I play: Starcraft II, Battlefield 3, Call of Duty BOII, Left 4 Dead 2, League of Legends. Of course, my reaction was obvious, I cleaned it up again. This time, it didn’t fix the problem at all. The stutter was there In the first match I played. I then sent it to a center of computer cleaning, they cleaned it in a professional way and changed the thermal liquid, but it didn’t fix the problem, again.
Every single time I have tried updating drivers, reinstalling older drivers, formatting the notebook, changing in-game specs and nothing has helped me. One thing I have been noticing, though, is that I have a somewhat audio issue in League of Legends, the in-game caster tends to bug and repeat the same phrase several times, stuttering the voice as it says. Also, in starcraft II, the game tend to stutter when I place down structures, and they make a “pshhhwt” noise as I do so.
I have read that this could be related with the sound, and also, with a somewhat innate GPU overclocking I can disable in the BIOS, but I do not know how to proceed with both of those cases, I need help.
Also, I have been noticing it is quite random. The year before, I was monitoring the gpu on the msi afterburner software, and there were these spikes on the GPU use, it went all up to 100% usage for like 1 sec and then it drops down to the normal pattern (thus, this is stutter). This year, what has been happening is stuttering with “negative peks” to 0% usage or even no peaks on the gpu usage.
Please, do not try to help me with obvious things such as “update your drivers”, “clean your notebook”, or stuff like that, this problem has persisted for over a year and a half and it is quite frustrating. If there is any additional info that I can provide, I would be glad to do so.

I thank you in advance for the assist.

The average temps on starcraft II are 85 overall and 62 on the GPU, recorded with OCCT and Msi afterburner. I also feel that i has to do with overheating, but I dont know how should I proceed. Warranty is already expired. I have already cleaned it up as stated, and I even have this thermal case that should absorb heat, but it don't help at all... The thing is, this problem is quite frequent with the GTX 560m model....

I wrote this "huge wall of text" for people who would come with simple solutions such as "reinstal your drivers". Please dont come with this TL DR thing because it is quite useless.

Thank you sir. I will try migrating into windos 8.1 tomorrow, from windows 7, along with a flat out formatting. I will write here if this works out.
