Okay I recently received Dragon Age: Origins for the PC and have been playing it on my laptop which doesn't have any sort of a real graphics card. Running on all the lowest settings it has been running fine but recently it is slowing down quite a bit. I was wondering if playing a game that works but you dont meet the minimum specs for is bad for your laptop.

Here are the reqs for the game
Windows Vista/Windows 7 Minimum Specifications
OS: Windows Vista with SP1, Windows 7
CPU: Intel Core 2 Single (or equivalent) running at 1.6Ghz or greater
AMD 64 (or equivalent) running at 2.0Ghz or greater
RAM: 1.5 GB or more
Video: ATI Radeon X1550 256MB or greater
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB or greater
DVD ROM (Physical copy)
20 GB HD space

Recommended Specifications
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz Processor or equivalent
AMD Phenom II X2 Dual-Core 2.7 GHz or greater
RAM: 2 GB (XP) or 3 GB (Windows Vista/Windows 7)
Video: ATI 3850 512 MB or greater
NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB or greater
DVD ROM (Physical copy)
20 GB HD space

Here is what my pc has
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core QL-65 2.10 GHz
RAM: 3GB Windows Vista Home Premium
Video: ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics
HDD: Toshiba mk2555gsx ata which i believe runs at 5,400rpms

Thanks for your time.

Hee hee, that made me laugh.

No, you cannot damage your laptop from playing a game your system specs cannot handle.
Plain and simple.

It might be any 3rd party programs installed, or overload on HDD. Maybe viruses?
