Does this Java high CPU usage, you posted in your screenshots occurs, when playing games, or just on regular basis?

It only happens when I'm playing RS (which is Java-powered) during lag spikes.

Btw, my laptop has been propped up on some books all day, only lagged once, seems to be working :) Will see If I can get a laptop cooler.

Very good. It seems like it's an overheating problem afterall.

Get a can of compressed air, and blow well all vents.


You may consider getting laptop cooler. When elevating laptop with books, make sure, they don't cover all laptop's bottom.
NOTE. Laptops were not really designed for games...

My Laptop Cooler has just arrived :)
Even though I swear the air is going the wrong way, it's keeping me below my overheat temperature. And it looks uber cool.
Thanks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. You've saved me having to buy a new laptop, and now I can actually enjoy Runescape or whatever without the pain.

Cheers, Pteri
