    I have a HP laptop with AMD ML-37 Turion CPU. I can play HD video at 1080i but when i play games, the CPU goes to 100% load. Are there any solution for this problem? And another question: how long does this cpu can stand with 100% load?
    Please help me

    im really not sure but last time i experienced a 100% cpu usage is when my pc(desktop) was infected with a spyware, and was removed by SPYBOT.

    maybe it can help you too.. find out first the application that uses much of your memory (task manager: look at the highest amount of mem usage in the running applications)

    get its name, then try googling it and see if it's actually a spyware.
    that's what at least worked for me, and my computer is running bug-free since then. its worth a try.

    i recommend SPYBOT for the antispyware and KASPERSKY for the anti virus.

    good luck.

    ^ I have those exact same setup. I was told Kaspersky wouldn't slow down your computer as much as the other virus programs such as Norton.

    Kaspersky works fine on my laptop, but on my desktop, at times, it uses a good percentage of the CPU. And the constant updates is really annoying cause it slows down my pentium 4 desktop.

    But it doesn't do a lot of crap that Norton does.

    Games generally do peg the CPU at 100% load. So long as you don't block the fan intake, and perhaps raise up the back of the notebook a half inch or so, you should be ok. If you want to get one of those notebook cooling pads that won't hurt.

    Indefinitely. It's the surrounding components that tend to have issues, the northbridge and/or graphics chip in particular, and even then if the CPU gets hot enough to kick the fan into high gear that will help cool the rest of the notebook. Gaming can be problematic due to the heat stress put on the northbridge/GPU... the more I think about it, using a notebook cooling pad while you're gaming is a pretty good idea.
