    Hi

    My computer randomly heats up to 75ºC. Both fans are working and there are no obstructions to the air flow. I even have a Bytec external two fan blowing air at the bottom of the laptop

    Anyone has any idea what is happening??

    I have no answer, but have seen similar behavior where the cpu starts pulsing and idle temperature rises to 55-60 degrees. It's never gone as high as 75 though. Normal idle temp is 40 degrees. It usually calms down or I shut I down and restart and it's back to normal.
