Hey guys:
I got an ASUS G51J-3D GAMING (WTF !) Laptop about 2 years ago, and everything was going well until 2 months ago, I started to have problems with FPS. My problem is:
when I play ANY game (no matter how old or new it is) I am having an occasional/random FPS drops suddenly, Like I play 5-10 (no more) minutes normally. And then,all of a sudden, the FPS is dropped to very low (and when I say very low, I mean it. Like 1-3 FPS !!!). The low FPS issue stays like another 5-10 minutes, then everything is back to normal, and so on...
This is really annoying :(
I completely did a non-quick format for my entire HDD and installed a clean Windows 7 64-Bits (the same one that came with my laptop) and that didn't fix the problem.
and I'm having this exact problems with ALL my games. for example: MW2,Borderlands, Portal 1&2,Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X,UT3, and old games like Mirror's Edge and even QUAKE LIVE!!!
all those was working perfectly without having any problems before.
my specs are:
Intel Core i7 720QM
4 GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M with 1GB DDR3
Windows 7 64-bits with latest Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 (Yes, I tried to pause protection and even exit the program, and that didn't work)
and here's the web page of my laptop incase you want it : http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G51J_3D

PS: Windows is notifying me that I should consider replacing my battery, but I am using my laptop while it's plugged in and with High Performance plan activated.
Thank you for your time. I hope someone can help me to solve this annoying problem as I can't play games on a GAMING laptop !

I did a Temperature test as some people said it might be GPU overheating, and those are the results:
