    Windows Media Center causing high CPU temps...


    I am having thermal problems when I watch TV in Windows Media Center. The core temps go up to between 56 to 59 degrees C. Normally before I bring up Media Center the temps are around 26 to 29 degrees C.

    My HP PC has an AMD FX-6120 6 Core CPU with 10GB DDR3 RAM. The CPU usage is normally around 2 to 6 percent with 4 programs running on the taskbar. What is causing this sudden increase in core temps?

    Video rendering can be intensive, you might want to look at a third part cooler for your cpu, or upgrading your video card. Your temps are safe, just trying to offer a way to lower them.

Hi, I've been looking through all these threads regarding this issue and I can't figure it out. For some reason I have an older desktop running XP MCE and without trying to configure anything it automatically sees the XBOX on the network. I'm not interested in running it through that computer...
My primary display is a 30" 2560x1600 LCD. When I start up Media Center for the first time it pops up a dialog telling me that my display is running at too high a resolution, which may affect Media Center performance, and that I should close Media Center and reduce the resolution. I ignored the...
