Downloaded all my music on SSD - Windows 7 runs hot! (explorer.exe)
Hi All,
As the title states:
I have a Lenovo X201 running Windows 7 64-bit. I have a 256 SSD and 8GB RAM. I recently reformatted and my laptop is running ice cold. When I download all of my music from my external on to my laptop, it runs super hot. Something is taking up bandwidth. I ran a scan on all of my music files, and there was nothing infected. There could be some corrupt files here and there, but I don't know if they have anything to do with the major overheat.
Before music was downloaded: 40-46 Celsius on idle.
After music was downloaded: 75-82 Celsius on idle.
Both dwm.exe and explorer.exe run harder when my music files (90 GB) are on the SSD.
What could be casusing this? I have tried reformatting again, uploading all of my music in portions, deleting/repairing corrupt mp3 files and the problem still persists. Could it be as an SSD fills up, it runs hotter? I wouldn't think so because it is just flash memory. I may be wrong though!
any suggestions/input would be greatly appreciated. I was wondering if any of you have had a similar issue!
All the best,
