I was transferring pictures off iphoto to a ext. HD and it slowed to a crawl. Eventually everything locked up. iStat pro said the CPU system was using 71%, temp of CPU A went up to 175 degrees F at one point. I wasn't connected to the net. Have to have ethernet/USB here. But a couple of messengers were open and so was a browser.

This has happened a few times before when online and looking at 4-5 webpages at once (no video).

Is this the core shutdown? Worth taking into Apple? Or maybe tackling myself with the reapplication of thermal paste?:eek:
