Most probably your cpu is being throttled due to excessive heat, happened with afreind of mine too, take it to the service centre and ask them to clean it !
Moreover GTA 4 is cpu intensive as is Max Payne 3 so CPU being throttled will directly affect the game performance !

For a laptop those temperatures are absolutely normal...
My HP probook i5-2540m+HD 3000 goes to 92 C on playing crysis 2
BTW i think OP need a good ventilation & by that i mean a cooling pad

but then it is having thermal shutdowns as well.. I guess it has got dust in the fan or the sync..

I think the game is running on intel gpu even after selecting high performance in switchable graphics.This happens in intel+radeon combo hp laptops. I think there is a benchmark option in the menu of gta4. Check that option and see which gpu is detected.I have a hp pavilion dv4-5009tx i5-2450 laptop with 6 GB ram and 2 GB Gt 630M graphic card.. Recently played GTA IV and realized that the game was giving low fps) even on medium graphic settings.. The fps fluctuate b/w 17-20 and sometimes go to 12-13 as well.. Completely ruins the gaming experience..
(note- i play only on "High Performance" mode with the power supply connected..)
Tell me what to do.. The games already running on medium settings, should go to low settings..?? Have encountered the same problem with games like Max Payne 3 and MW3, fps never go beyond 24 at medium settings..
Another reliable method of checking this is to download gpu shark. Run it and keep it maximized. Then run gta4. Don't do anything in between. After the save file is loaded minimize the game and see the max load of dedicated gpu in gpushark window. If it is 0.00% surely ur nvidia 630m is not being used.

On using the GP Shark, the Gpu usage was 99.0% during game play.. I guess there is too much dust in the fan as that seems like the only possible reason now.. I dont know how to clean it, so will have to do with it only..

I'm very sorry to hear that.

for heavens sake bro, muster up some courage and open the back plate. :\
do this: first loosen the dust with a thin water color brush. then use the vacuum cleaner on low power suction mode to suck up the dust. this is how i clean my GPU/CPU heatsink/fan/
you will get plenty tutorial to do this.
