Hi,
My hp G6 Pavilion laptop has started getting hot for the past couple of days & I noticed the CPU usage is between 40% to 80% and fan is running high. While ram is being used 50%-60% like always.
System Specs are
Core i3 2.5Ghz, (I think 1st Generation)
4GB Ram DDR3
I'm running same routine programs like Chrome, Skype, MS Excel etc (Just routine office stuff, nothing different), but I never had any such issues before in last 3 years until now.
I remember earlier when I used to do this kind of normal work, my CPU Usage used to be 5% - 20% & only 2 cores used to be in action while 2 cores used to be cool, but now all 4 cores are in action.
I guess some program is running in the backend!
Can you tell me how can I find out which program is using the most amount of CPU? And How to tell if it is safe to terminate that program?
Please guys I need urgent help.
Thanks.
