Also notice my fan spins up big time.


Is it spinning up more noticeably than in the past? If so, it's an indication of overheating internally. Are you playing with a laptop cooler underneath the computer? Have you ever tried cleaning out the laptop by carefully using a can of compressed air to blow into the vents? Accumulated dust can have a major impact on the ability of the laptop to keep internal components cool.

Can you check to see how hot the cpu and gpu are getting?

Download and run HWMonitor from: http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/hwmonitor/1.23-setup.exe

Now start the game and let it run several minutes. Then exit or alt-tab out and see what the highest temperature is that was reached for both the cpu and gpu.

GPU is at 38-40


While this makes sense for an idle reading, I find it hard to believe it's staying that cool while playing the game, especially with no external cooling.

Could you try another program called Afterburner by MSI? Start it up and then play the game for a while. When you come back to it, it has several graphs displaying several stats, one of which is the GPU temp and also notes the highest temp reached.
