Hello, today while I was at school, I noticed that my processor core usage had gone up to 100% on both cores and way staying there with no fluctuation. I had chrome up with one tab (html document) and text edit, all other apps were closed. I was in the middle of some work and didn't have time to restart so I put it to sleep and came back to it about an hour and 20minutes later and the cores were still just as active. Once I got home I restarted and the cores whent back to normal, although at time the processors seem to be stressed more than normal (only slightly). Is the the beginning of a logic board failure? The computer is a 2006 CoreDuo 2Ghz so replacing a logic board would make no sense. I wanted to save for a new 2012 MBP this summer but I'm not sure if this will last that long if it keeps acting up. Should I worry about it and try to prolong it's death or is it fine? Thanks
