I'm getting this weird thing with my Dell Inspiron 15 5559 laptop - I've had it for over a year now (since oct 2016) and its been running just fine. I mainly program on in (web development) and I do normally have around 7-10 windows open at once. I also edit videos for my youtube channel (@1080p res) and then it gets fairly warm, not surprising. But recently for school I have been learning how to cad using Autodesk Inventor Pro 2018. Now... I'm not sure if its just a coincidence that since I've started CADing its been getting really warm or not. I've been really concerned.''
Yesterday I was using my laptop for some cad and programming, then when I had to go, I closed the screen and threw it into my backpack, went home, then about 1/2 an hour later I pulled it out again. When I pulled it out, it was EXTREMELY HOT. Like, HOT to the touch. I could hardly even hold it. So I turned it off, took out the battery and expelled all the power out of it, and let it cool. 10-15 minutes later when it was cool, I turned it on again and it seemed fine, but when I went to check in task manager, I saw that the cpu was at 100%, the hardrive was at 100% and the memory usage was at 7 of 8gb. This was on idle, not natural right?
So im not really sure what to do. I dont know if I should get a new and better laptop, or just try and fix this. Any ideas?
