When i start the game WoW it goes normally, but after 2-3 minutes it goes slower, very low fps, like 5-6 fps...i press alt+tab and wait 2-3 minutes then i enter again and it goes normally, but again after 2-3 min. it goes slower...what is going on?I put everything in the Video Options to the lowest i can, but still the same... Help please...oh and my hardware is:
Video: Nvidia GeForce 7150M / Nforce 630M 128MB
CPU: Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-55 1.80 GHz x2 = 3.60GHz
Ram: 2048MB
If I forgot something about my hardware, tell me...
Sry for my bad english...
My computer has low fps :(

How about the fact that you're asking about a laptop? Laptops don't make good gamers unless you buy one that's specifically designed for that purpose.
"1.80 GHz x2 = 3.60GHz"
Your CPU does not run at 3.60GHz. It has two separate cores, each running at 1.8GHz...their clock speeds are NOT combined.
The Geforce 7150M isn't a good video "card" for gaming but it *should* handle a game like WOW:

Check for viruses, spyware & useless programs loading at startup & running in the background.

The strange thing is that 5-6 months ago I was playing WoW and other games for example NFS Carbon, or NFS Most Wanted completely normal... but now they have very low fps. I reinstalled Windows, but it's the same... :(

Did you completely wipe the HDD & start from scratch? Did you install all the latest drivers & run Windows update?
You should still run MSCONFIG & disable useless programs from loading at startup. CCleaner is another program you should have & use regularly.

It might be overheating because when i start the computer and turn the game on it goes well for 10-15min. and usually it goes well for about 1-2 min. Now i placed a Ventilator(not sure if it's called like that in english :) ) and i will try that way

Problem Solved! Thanks jam for telling me that it could be overheating... now it goes well. Now i put the ventilator in front of the laptop and play WoW and other games! Thanks again jam!

Glad you figured it out, but don't stop there. Your laptop is overheating for a reason...find the cause & fix it. Most likely it's because of dust buildup in the vents & cooling fan. Try blowing it out with compressed air.

Yes, my old PC had dust in the vents and it always showed the "blue screen of death", but after i clean it, it's good again, but for laptop i dont know how to clean it...
