I have one of my machines dual booted with Ubuntu/W10. I was just using it for a few hours watching movies. It began to get really hot and eventually the video playback started to stutter. Bottom of the laptop felt really hot. The last couple of times that I've run linux, it's had issues scrolling through webpages, etc. It only happens after I've used the machine for a while with multiple tabs open. It seems that linux in general runs hot on laptops because I had another computer that was having the same issue. This computer never seems to run hot when running W10.
I already cleaned out the fan inside. I have 8GB of RAM. CPU is an i5. Has an 850 EVO SSD installed.
Questions:
When it starts to lag is that because the CPU is being throttled due to heat?
What can be done to smooth things over and make it run cooler?
