    Issue Description:
    While gaming or performing other strenuous tasks, (e.g. ?) the frame rate of the application will drop to 1-2 fps, and the audio will become distorted, slowed, robotic, and full of static. Upon inspection of the task manager, the CPU usage is at 100% when this issue occurs.

    Issue Fix:
    We believe that this issue is caused by HP's cool sense technology. When cool sense is disabled, the issue does not occur. Cool sense can be turned off at any time by going to the icons adjacent to the time and date section of the taskbar. Once off it can be turned back on at any time via the same method.
