A common problem with laptops is over time they suck in lots of dust through the ventilation holes. The dust packs together and blocks up the heatsink grills and/or jams up the fan. This could be your problem. I would also monitor gpu and cpu levels when gaming to see how high they go. If the laptop is free of dust you could have a faulty gpu...
