problem,
I bought a laptop to install linux. it has a good processor,core 2 quad, good memory, 4gb and a good hard drive. I installed zorin and everytime i run it, the fan in my processor is non-stop and there was alot of heat. the other day I put the original drive into the laptop with windows 7. the processor ran cool and the fan wasn't non-stop. it ran idle for a while and didn't overheat. to rule out the hard drive I installed Mint on the old drive it came with. it ran hot again.
tell me is there some setting in linux that overworks the processor? if not what's wrong?![[sad]](/data/assets/smilies/sad.gif "[sad] [sad]")
