It isn't unusual with a temperature like that during load, but it mostly seems to happen when playing demanding games on a laptop. I wouldn't worry about it if it just happens momentarily, but long running tasks that stress the system like that is probably not suitable on a laptop. Anyway, as others have pointed out, check for dust and make sure that you don't impede air flow yourself (by placing it on bed for example). -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se
