CPU Activity
Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2008 6:41 pm
I've noticed recently that, while running MyInfo Pro 4.02 on my IBM Thinkpad laptop, the CPU temperature skyrockets from its normal 53-58 C to a worrisome 80 C.
Opening the Windows Task Manager, I note that MyInfo accounts for 97 to 99% of CPU activity, regardless of whether it is maximized or minimized, or whether I'm actively entering data or it's just idly sitting open.
By contrast, I can leave Word, Firefox, ECCO, and OneNote open all at once, and the temperature remains stable in the mid-50s, and CPU activity will be minimal, except while I'm actually working in the program.
Any idea what's going on, or how to deal with this issue? I depend on MyInfo for many critical uses, but certainly don't want to fry my laptop.
