    Hello

    I have noticed that when I go through to the Microsoft Update site and I do a custom update, while the green bars are running, inspecting my computer, my processor gets very hot. The temp peaks over 50 C.

    Any ideas

    Thanks :)

    If the load on the processor increases to something above 50%, then its normal for it to do that. If you have a newer processor with SpeedStep, then it is quite normal for the processor to clock to its full speed, and this will generate more heat.
