My notebook starts lagging when I'm watching videos (on YouTube), browsing the internet and when I'm playing a video game.
The temperature is getting higher (~46 degree Celsius) when I run a program which has high graphical requirement. (measured by Hard Disk Sentinel)
When I put it on the charger the lagging stops for 1-2 minutes but it starts again.
Could anyone help me? Could anyone recommend a program (or programs) to fix this problem?
Thank you very much in advance.
OS: Windows XP
Notebook: HP Compaq 6720s

but note I am no expert.
First thing, your note that "when I'm watching videos (on YouTube), browsing the internet and when I'm playing a video game". Did you mean 'and' as in, all three together? If so, you may be pushing this machine too far.
But even if not, what about this Windows XP? Did this notebook come with XP pre-installed, or with Vista Home Basic or Vista Business? The reviews I see show this HP Compaq 6720s to be a Vista machine targeted at the business market as a budget notebook. So it is not designed for heavy video work. But if you removed Vista and installed XP, where did you get all the XP drivers from?
The graphics card, the Intel GMA X3100 is a shared memory card. It shares the system's RAM, so any heavy video, (films or games), is going to tax it if you are using any other software at the same time.
The typical processor is a 1.6 Ghz dual core, and that again is going to work hard.
All of this hard work is going to increase the temperature, and no software apps can fix that.
It seems you are running these games and/or films off the battery. That will put pressure on the battery immediately, and that might also be a reason for the running hot that you are experiencing.
Make sure all air vents are free of dust and are clear of obstruction.
When you are watching videos or playing games, reduce all other open applications to zero if you can. That might free up RAM.
Internet lagging can be a different cause, from malware infection to slow internet connection, to too many browser add-ons, and so on, but that is part of the normal experience of using and maintaining Windows' systems, so no need to go into detail of that here.
All in all this seems a good little notebook, but it is, after all, just a notebook and is not going to win any sprint races.
Take care of it and it should do you well for those business uses it was designed for.

Thanks for your reply. 
I removed Vista and installed Windows XP. I don't know where I got the drivers.
The processor is 2.0 Ghz dual core. I'm not doing everything at the same time (playing & watching videos)
I just had igxpdx32.dll crash.. I don't know what it means. There might be something wrong with the video driver.
Thank you for your reply again
