Do you use an encrypted drive? That's one thing that would require intensive CPU to decrypt, and one thing that Windows probably isn't doing. On my my older Fedora release, I do see something similar. When I boot up, my laptop CPU rapidly gets *very* hot while just sitting there waiting for me to enter the password to decrypt the drive. Dunno why it's grinding its gears before it's actually doing the work. No, it's not just the fan running at full speed, uncontrolled, it is venting out hot air. Usually, there's just a slightly warm breeze being vented. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
