    Use a program like NHC to check the temperature of the processor. Also, download the latest drivers for the graphics card, and the latest patches/updates for the games and see if that makes any difference.

    80 C is getting on the hotter side, and that may be why the notebooks is suffering from some instability issues. If you are still under warranty, then I would adcise to ask Fujitsu Siemens to repair it. It most likely needs to have the thermal interface on the processor reaplied, however, it could still be the graphics card.
