Default Re: Datamining CPU Usage and Overheating

[ QUOTE ]
Check your user's manual. When my Dell laptop was overheating I needed to open it up and spray some compressed air through the heatsink. After a while it started overheating again so I took the heatsink out and applied new thermal grease to the processor and I haven't had any problems since.
