Answer 1

Intel core i7 have a nasty habit of doing that.



Did you know turbo boost never overclocks the CPU for very long and almost never more then 1 core at a time?



Its a monster hear producer.



AMD got ALLOT better, Im sitting on one right now watching movies on 2 screens and surfing the net on this 3rd screen, with no problems, my temperatures remain below 80c, AMD QuadCore Dual GPU laptop.

Answer 2

HP and heating problems go hand in hand buddy

Answer 3

Make sure you are using it on a hard surface - not on any fabric or cushion or whatever.

Soft surfaces can block the air vents causing heat build-up.



Check the Task Manager for applications (processes) that are using lots of CPU%

Investigate the high CPU useage if you find your % is above 10 or 15 for long periods.
