I was backing up my computer using Time Machine and noticed it getting very warm and I checked iStat and immediately read a 99C TEMP!!!!! Before the fans kicked in at 4-5k RPM and dropped the temp to the low 90's upper 80'sC. I quit the backup and noticed temps were still high so I see in the Activity Monitor that "Finder" is using 100% CPU.

What would cause this? I had for force-quit Finder..that seems unusual for it to runaway like that.
