DCUM makes my laptop overheat

[Anonymous]

Jeff, when I come on this site, my laptop starts to get really hot and the fan starts whirring overtime. It's been happening for the last several days. What could this mean? Thanks.

Clearly you have been spending to much time in the explicit forum.

Ha ha! Then it wouldn't be my laptop that was overheating.

Sorry, couldn't resist. What OS and browser are you using? I was seeing this some time ago using Safari on a Mac. It was related to Flash. There is a thread in this forum about it. Basically, a process called "PlugginProcess" would run at 100%. You can see discussion of that here:

This was solved by upgrading Safari and Flash. If your problem is different, I'll have need more information. But, I suspect it is Flash related. That is pretty much my suspicion for everything though.
