Random Framerate drops in recent games. Most likely a GPU problem. Please help.

I hope I am posting this in the right area. If not, please re-direct me.
I own a fairly new laptop and am experiencing some problems with framerates in some recent games such as Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Half-Life 2: Episode 1. The framerate starts out fine; it moves without a hitch. A few minutes later, however, the framerate drops noticeably. This pattern continues as long as I play these games. In both games the framerate drop is about the same. My computer is (as mentioned earlier) fairly new. It has an AMD Athlon X2 4800+, a GeForce Go 7800, and 2GB of RAM. Thank you for your time.
 
It could be. My laptop can get pretty hot. The intervals of framerate drop vs. normal framerate are pretty consistent, though,so I am not sure. I'll test that idea.
