Laptop gets hot when screen times out
My laptop starts spinning up the fans and getting hotter onces the screen auto times out. When I wake it up, the core temp is around 160-170F, and drops almost immediately after swiping across the touch pad to wake the screen. The moment it wakes, CoreTemp shows it running at full clock (2.2 GHz i7-2675QM), but then it immediately drops to 800 MHz and goes to idle temp around 125-135F. Any ideas why it may be ramping up like this with the screen off?
EDIT: It's a Samsung 7 Series with W7U, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD, and 1TB HDD.
TYIA!
