I don't know, but for some reason, the laptop can't run gm_apocalypse in garrysmod at perfect framerate anymore. I didn't change any of the settings, and everything is the same! Argh!
Dust/overheating may be the problem. You also might be running more programs in the background, eating up more resources.
Have you installed any new addons? Addons can add tons of overhead to Gmod, even when their content isn't in use. This problem can be compounded if addons you install contain poorly written Lua scripts.
No, I have just no clue. I don't have any addons except for ones I made, and I haven't downloaded any in a long time. Overheating was never a problem, and I have very few background programs running.
Overheating may not have ever been a problem because there may not have been enough dust built up yet. Try buying some canned air and blowing it into the vents.
