I recently buy lenovo g510 laptop
CPU: core i5 4200m
ram: samsung 4 gb 1600 mhz
GPU: amd R5 M230 and intel 4600
hard disk : plextor m5s 128 gb ssd
I try many games on medium setting and the performance was very bad
is there any way to upgrade R5 M230 to R7 M265 without get heat problem or any problem

You're still looking at a lot more than just opening the case and swapping cards like you would in a desktop. The chip is more than likely going to be integral to the system. The time, effort and trouble you'll go through - not to mention risk to the board itself and voiding the heck out of your warranty - would probably be better spent getting a laptop better suited to gaming.

However, if you're the type that feels comfortable digging in that far, then by all means. But there's a reason why you won't find a lot of hands-on instructions out there to help you - most people are not able to do it. That being said, I have no idea if those two chips are the exact same connection type, compatible with the same firmware and/or if they are...

If you get through all of that, I'm sure you'll be able to tackle the heat problem. I've been modding things for years, and I don't have the guts :D If you get it to work, make sure to document it for others.
