This is normal, since it's always done that.

Even if the games are only cycle-intensive (like Diablo 2) and don't actually take up the processing power, just keep the cycle running, the CPU heats very fast. My main issue is as such: Recently I can't use any high-load applications or games. The only possible difference that I can think of that might relate in any way to my problem is the Bios, which has been flashed over time from A9 to A19. I installed the same drivers, mostly, maybe with exceptions in regards to updated graphics drivers for the 4500MHD chip or little upgraded drivers here and there. It is the same Windows 7 that I have used before. The fan would spin powerfully until temp would go down to about 55, then spin a little slower till 50 and then stop.

Even under max load and using it for prolonged times, if the coolers ran it never went over 60 degrees celsius displayed temp, 65 at most. Generally, the laptop has always cooled well. Specifically, I have problems with reaching certain temperature threshholds. My laptop is a Dell Latitude E4300, with a P9400 CPU C2D CPU and 4GB of DDR3 RAM. I would also like to mention that YES, i have searched all over this forum and many others for a solution to my problem and at best I only found partial solutions or none that i can use. I first thought of posting this in cooling but it didn't seem like the best place for it and since I did see some help requests in here it won out.
