    Hey guys. So I think my 8920G has a problem...it overheats...a lot. If I have iTunes + msn + Opera open, it goes up to around 60-70, and when I have a game open (any game) it goes up to 100% and stays like that. My laptop has given me a blue screen twice in the past year, and shut off on it's own numerous times. So is there a serious problem?

    Open up your laptop casing and blow all dust out.
    If that can't fix your problems, then you need 3rd party softwares.
    RMclock is responsible for cooling down laptop/desktop.
    Personally, I use RMclock as well. It cool down my laptop about 5-10C.
    Result vary on user, I have seen a laptop lowered down 20C using rmclock.
