My PC started doing it as well . Only on AA though , nothing else . My video driver is up to date and my running temps are fine. I`m thinking its a graphic card issue but its very sporadic. I can play for an hour before it happens. It can happen within the first ten minutes , doesn`t seem to be any consistency to check it .

All good ideas, but no,  it's not a temperature issue. 64deg C.  This only happens in 25Assist,  even after running as admin and in Vista compatibility mode.

64c WHILE running game for a while or while just in Windows? Because that temperature with most cpu's is too high when you arent playing etc.

Why would you run in compatibility mode?

Edit: does your laptop have intel cpu? Especially with intel I would say 65c is much. With amd the temp often goes more up compared to intel but even with amd cpu, if its not gaming temperature, that 65c is"much" and with many laptops slows down and sometimes even freezes the pc when on heavy load.

The issue with laptops overheating is of course CPU throttling, as the cpu reaches temps limit, the core frequencies get slowed down, that would surely make for a severe application slowdown or a freeze. If the laptop isn't working any better after a proper dust cleanup,  and you also happen to have some graphic artifacts, hardware issues might be there. Typically video ram modules that sometimes tend to fail after a few years (they produce particular video artifacts).

I would still try to update your video cards drivers.

Updated them a couple of weeks ago. I saw last night that there're new reference drivers from Nvidia, and I'll be updating today.

Does the laptop also has an integrated Intel graphic chip? And if so, is it running the game on that one?

I have two choices, but have been exclusively using the nvidia card. I switched to the integrated graphics but it made no difference.

Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Dell)
2047MB GeForce GTX 660M (Dell)

Just yesterday opened again a laptop that had slowdowns and freezes. Checked this time temps just because I was thinking about this topic. Temps were 56c when not doing anything, 63-65c when opening a news website. Also fan was loud.

After cleaning and applying new paste (which was AGAIN messed up like until now with most older laptops) the temperature went down about with 10 celcius. In rest 45c - 48c, opening the same news website 49c-54c and fan was very quiet. Also the computer worked much quicker and didnt freeze at all :) it is intel cpu. With amd I believe the temp wouldt go down so much but still it would help even then.

I would still recommend doing what I told.. minimum that opening and cleansing, even if not applying the new paste. 65c is  very high temp with intel cpu.

As I said earlier, I've run it both ways,  exclusively on my nvidia card and just using the integrated graphics.  Compatibility modes make no difference either.

"Exclusively" means from a global setting or from a setting based on the exact executable?

Using both the context menu, and using the Nvidia control panel. I've tried both ways.

As for the temperature, that's been about where it's run since day one.  Two years ago it began creeping up because of dust buildup, but a few blasts of canned air fixed that issue.

Did you already checked the temps? (I mean, any huge change after you'he been playing for a while? You might find temp logging useful). Do you have a system with both an Integrated Intel graphic chip + an Nvidia card?
