Today, while working in iClone..I got a warning that the CPU temp was 70 degrees C.  My old computer never had such warnings, but I also noticed that the computer was getting louder and louder.  The temp warning then popped up at 80 C.  I immediately shut down the computer.

I waited a while (after calling support who said I prob needed a new fan) and turned it back on.  There is an app that shows the temp of everything.  The CPU after start up is around 46 degrees and motherboard 36 degrees.  The CPU fan is 867 rpm.

As soon as I opened iClone, it all increased by about 6 degrees.  However, when I opened a project with 5 characters and various lights....the CPU temp slowly started rising, as well as the motherboard temp.  The fan cpu went up to 1100 as well.  As I could see it was heading toward 70 again, I closed iClone, and the temps went back down.

Like I said, I never was aware of temps before, but does anyone have an idea why iClone is causing the cpu temp to rise so much?

It's an ASUS brand which I thought was pretty good...has 12 gig ram the graphics card is nvidea with 3 gig of dedicated ram.

Also....when the temp hit 80, just before I shut down a message popped up that said the video card had recovered from something, but I didn't see the whole message.

Any thoughts?
