So I've had my hp pavilion for about 4 years now and I'm noticing that it's really starting to get dated. One of the issues i'm having is my processor is running constantly in the 70 C range while just browsing the internet.
I've used an air duster a bit but haven't taken apart the laptop. I tried to run the Dolphin emulator and watched as CoreTemp said my temperature was going up a degree/second. Is it just an old processor?
Also, I see I have 82 processes going on with just google chrome open for applications in task manager but not sure which ones i can stop. Any help would be appreciated.
Computer Specs:
HP Pavilion dv5 Notebook
AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72 2.1 Ghz
4 gb Ram
32-bit vista OP
ATI Radeon HD 3450 (might be the problem for Dolphin)
