Same here. No new tasks. Recently this has been happening quite a bit. Before I would always have tasks to process.

Hi Swiftmallard and Dagorath,

I've already tried the vacuume cleaner, I don't think it's dust.

I might get a cooling pad to place underneath.

At the moment I'm using a handy throttle program that works well with linux mint. I simply set it to a lower GHz at night so the temperature is stable around 70C. During the day I let it run full throttle at 95 - 97C, it's hot, but it's stable and the chip has built in protection should it reach 100C.

it must be an airflow issue. I took my laptop outside and it dropped from 96 to 70 Celsius. It's -9 outside. Don't feel confident enough to open up the laptop though.

It seems my I5 runs at close to 100C temperatures.

Probably because of Intel's famous heat-sinks..
