[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1055866, member: 24098"] The number of processes running doesn't matter nearly as much as the CPU utilization. I can see in your picture that you've got a Flash video playing (huge CPU hog) and also are using Google Chrome (still in beta, so not nearly as refined as the more mainstream browsers, prone to take up more resources). That's likely you're issue at this moment in time. The next time your machine starts running hot, sort the process list my CPU% and that will give you an idea of what is creating the high heat situation pretty quickly. Also, I would not use Chrome for casual browsing just yet, but that's another topic for a different thread. [/QUOTE]
