    When this happened to me the CPU never got too high to shutdown. I have the same model SP3 as you do.

    Solved Sp3: System and System interrups waste 20/25% cpu - heating

    For me, this is not an every day issue - more like 1 a week or more. I don't know when it will happen again because when it happened last, I just let it finish and it hasn't happened since. Perhaps the legendary Core M chips will resolve the issue?

    Solved Sp3: System and System interrups waste 20/25% cpu - heating

    I wouldn't say registry cleaning is a joke. Netgate cleaned my registry a bunch, Ran it again and 2 items were remaining. Now it gets no errors. Some of the errors I saw before letting it do it's thing was extensions which were no longer being used, shortcuts, etc.

    The same thing happens to me. Something is going on in the background. What? I don't know - I can't see the process that's taking up the CPU usage because it drops back down to 0. I mentioned this issue in another thread. Whatever the SP3 is doing, let it finish and it won't happen for the rest...

Imagine bewildered faces and mouths agape as I pulled the keyboard off the screen, alt+tabbed between Photoshop, Word, Powerpoint, scribbled in OneNote, and showed the Angry Birds start screen. I won most improved speaker but the best part was I think I sold at least...

    My i7 gets over 599 also. The max frequency is 5000 according to XTU. I've seen my frequency get past 1200. Doesn't explain why a stress test doesn't max the frequency like the cpu test does. My thoughts: the cpu gets preferential treatment over the gpu since they are the same chip (?).
