    My HDX16 is only 1.5 years old. In the last 6 months, my CPU utilization goes to 100% and the machine gets very hot after an hour of use. I'm not sure which happens first, or if they are related. Specs: Windows 7, X64 Intel Core Duo Processor P7550. 4GB RAM. Appreciate any thought you may have. Thank you.

    After 1.5 years of use, it's likely time to reapply thermal paste to the CPU.
