[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1245633, member: 56379"] Ideas: 1. Any chance your computer could be dirty (fuzz/dirt clogging things up)? I do remember a couple members having unusual cooling problems with their laptop...and after cleaning...everything was fine (BIG difference). Of course getting to the inside of a laptop is not always easy. 2. Is the darn fan operating? If it is...with those temps. you're certainly hearing it "wailing" away! 3. Have you checked "Activity Monitor" to see if there's some sort of application running that is using up a lot of resources? Something that may be an autoloading "background" app. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
