I've noticed every game I play the game will randomly slow down then speed up every 10 or 20 seconds. It doesn't matter what settings I have the game on. My temps are fine and my drivers are updated. Any recommendations to fix this? I have an r2 and had my GPU replaced a few months ago when the old one died. I only have like 10 gigs left on my HDD, although I can't imagine that would effect performance.

Does this happen when you are on battery and AC adapter?
Make sure you are on the latest BIOS which is A12. -

I've seen viruses cause issues similar to this.
And when your first GPU died, did you ever find out if there was a cause for its failure, or did it just die itself? If something caused your old GPU to die, it could be killing your replacement GPU.
Also, what CPU do you have? -

I've noticed that while I'm playing BF3 only takes up about 1 gig of physical memory and 30% CPU usage. Is this low?

6GB RAM
GT650M 1GB
500GB 7200RPM HDD
I don't have the cpu usage issue in a lot of other games. I was playing battlefront 2 and cpu usage got up to like 90% at some points -

Make sure you open your laptop up every 4-6 months and clean out all the dust from the inside. The fan and heat sink will hold a bunch of dust and need to be cleaned out to ensure no throttling is occurring. While working on laptops for friends and family along with desktop I always notice too much dust and go out of my way to clean it inside and out. Help to keep the fans at a lower volume and prolong gaming session. A cooler master notebook cooler will help with keeping dust out of your laptop and keep temps down.

However, I've also found my GPU throttles around 68 C, which seems low. -
Random slowdown in all games?
