My computer seems to actually be running pretty hot. I have tried to resolve the problem with these "solutions":
-Cleaned PC from dust (I will repeat this action tomorrow)
-Close unnecessary programs using Task Manager (MsMpEng.exe likes to hog cpu and ram, temporarily disabled MSE)
-Updated the BIOS (HP F.63 to HP F.65)
-Used a different OS (Win10 runs even hotter than 7, yet Windows XP Live CD runs fine.)
-Used different theme (Tried built-in themes and even third-party themes)
-Use cooling pad at max rpm (doesn't help)
It seems to run around 120-130 degrees F both idle and when playing games, according to Speccy.
Does anybody know of another solution for this problem?
UPDATE: With the Fan Always On setting set to on, it runs btwn 110-120 degrees but is super annoying.
UPDATE 2: All temperatures are motherboard temps.
