Sorry. Something keeps setting the "Processor Power Management" setting in Advanced Power Management to 100%. So even though the utilization is down below 10%, the chip is hot and the fan is spinning like mad.
When I go into the APM settings and dial that back, I can instantly hear the fan start to relax.

Does your user account on the PC have Administrator privileges? I've seen a few cases where changed settings won't stick if the user isn't the Administrator.
