  3. CPU Temperature

    I have tried to follow different sets of instructions on how to reveal the CPU temperature gauge. They either fail to match what I see on the screen or fail to tell me what function key to press when I eventually get to the list of options. Can anyone
    clarify this for me. (I'm investigating the possibility that instability on my Sony All-in-one PC is being caused by high temperature).

    High CPU Temperature After Windows 10 Upgrade

    I recently upgraded to Windows 10. I followed the regular upgrade process from Windows 7 and did a clean install afterwards. Everything is working fine and I am pleased with my overall experience.

    I noticed though, that system temperature is rising really quickly after system startup and the fan is constantly running.

    • Only 10-15 minutes after startup CPU temperature hits 80°C when system is running totally idle
    • If I start browsing the internet, temperature jumps to 90°C
    • Task managers show system process between 18-20% of CPU; all other processes are between 0-1%
    • All drivers and BIOS are up to date
    • I turned off Malwarebytes to exclude it as a cause
    Any thoughts? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
