i experienced something like this. laptop's fine, but 30 seconds into a game of cs, it lags. even when i exit the game, my desktop lags. the only fix was to restart my laptop. i reinstalled windows and updated all of my drivers, but still had the same problem.

i realized i hadn't heard my fan come on in a while. the fan usually kicks in when i start gaming. i ran the diagnostics and found that the fan had failed. i took my laptop apart for shits and giggles and found the fan disconnected. i serviced my laptop and had the motherboard replaced TWICE, this time around, the tech forgot to connect the fan. it's been working find ever since.
