Most of the Valve games you can think of have been played on this machine at moderate graphic levels

They'll tend to be a bit less CPU-heavy than myth especially at lower graphical levels and especially if you have vsync on in them (it defaults to on IIRC). So that may indicate a CPU overheating thing rather than GPU, but hard to say.
Like I said, every workload is different so hard to know for sure, but if you find some monitoring utilities I'd be interested in if anything seems to be overheating.

Run Prime95 or its ilk to determine if its a CPU related heat issue.
I bet it'll conk out.
Anyways, the laptop is probably clogged with dust and should be blown and vacuumed out.

Things have been peachy since I capped the fps around 70

Cap at the number of Hz your monitor is set at, usually 60. It won't display more.

I picked the number based on how many your eyes can recognize, but that logic is SO MUCH BETTER

No matter what any web page tells you, the "number your eyes can recognize" is not well-defined
Enabling v-sync will synchronize it to your monitor's refresh rate (i.e. cap it) and get rid of tearing as well.
Thus I'd enable v-sync and then potentially throw an fps cap of 100 or so on there too just in case your video driver busy-waits the stall.

Considering when I first started playing it I was probably around 30 I'm not worried haha
