CPU going nuts when doing simple tasks?
Like the title says, I don't know what's wrong, at first I thought it was just room temperature.
Now it has gotten worse, the problem is that my CPU's temperature goes above 70 and sometimes around 85, and the fan just goes crazy.
I can run as many applications I want, as long as they don't involve: gaming (3D), video rendering, video conversion, video streaming, skype calling etc.
This is ridiculous, I'm trying to convert my videos to another format, and can't really do it in this condition because I fear shortening the life of my laptop if the overheat stays on. I just bought my laptop the start of this year, this only started to happen recently.
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Model: Acer Aspire 5742
Processor: Intel Core i5-460M processor
RAM: 2GB DDR3 Memory (8GB [7.68GB Usable])
