in the past week or so my macbook pro has been around 85 degrees C at start up.
i know macbook pros get extremely hot, and usually its normal, but this just recently started happening and doesn't seem right.
the CPU level is around 95% user activity, but i only have basic programs running - this happens even if no programs are open.
I've checked the activity monitor and nothing is running at over 0.5 CPU and my hd has about 15 gb free.
any ideas what could be causing this or ways to troubleshoot?
the laptop is so hot that it is literally impossible to use with out a table, and sometimes the keys themselves, especially on the left side of the keyboard are too hot to touch.
i am in nyc and it takes almost a week to get an appointment with a genius at the mac store so any ideas in figuring out whats up would be greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU!!
