@andrewstar03 You mention heating and I think you're looking in the right place. Laptops tend to be prone to heating issues too, especially if there is a dust build-up.
I know myself have had issues with this in the past. Elevating the laptop may help, so that the vents have better air flow. It might be worth trying to clear any dust buildup with compressed air. There are also 3rd-party cooling laptop trays, but I have never used one.
In-game it may be worth enabling vsync, to prevent very high framerate spikes and the requisite heat increase.
Your card manager may also allow you to set more aggressive heat management settings, it's worth having a poke around to see what options are available.

Thanks David!
I really don't know much about the Settings for Video in game. I will check on that, But right now, i'm currently running the Game in Low Settings (Auto Detect). And i have Disabled all the Possible settings. When i get home tonight, i will enable the V-Sync that you mentoined. I'm also planning on Opening my Laptop and Cleaning the Ventilations plus replacing the Thermal Paste this coming weekend. Oh and by the way, I'm using a laptop cooler. I Tried to use HWMonitor to see the Hardware Temps, both the the CPU and GPU are running on about 90+ deg C when i'm running the Game. I don't really know if that's normal. Another this that you mentoined is the Graphic Card Manager or Driver. My problem with it is that, when i installed the game, it doesn't show up on the application menu on Nvidia. What i do is i manually add it to the application lists, and changed the default graphics to use into my Nvidia Graphic Card. I don't know what settings to tweak there to get more performance of my Graphic Card. I'll try looking more into these things.
I'll get back to give some results.
