[QUOTE="fasheezy, post: 366153, member: 818"] My fans starting spinning up like crazy and I couldn't figure out why b/c I was only running Firefox and Mail. So I opened up Activity Monitor and found that FINDER was running my CPU at 195%!!! I have no idea why it was doing that, but I had to quit FINDER and then start it again. Can anybody explain this? I'm not exactly sure what FINDER does, but I know it's always open when using the Mac. I wasn't using it for anything. I wasn't looking through folders or searching my HDD. Just using Firefox and Mail. [/QUOTE]
