  1. In Topic: Sega CD/Genesis inconsistent humming/ image distortion

    Yes thats what I first thought of. So I opened up both consoles but capacitors seem fine (can they be bad and still have their tops flat? Ill upload some photos later). And yeah, I used to think it was the SCD's adapter (since it would happen mostly when attached to it), but now I got this new 9V 2A AC adapter and the problem persists so I can rule that one out, it might still be the genny adapter though. Is there any other way I could see if it's the AC adapter without an oscilloscope? :/

  2. In Topic: Processes "interrupts" and "kworker" taking up CPU

    Okay I get now.. so it really is just general overheating.. I'll try to open it up and clean the cooling fans. Thanks everyone ;)

    But overheating is not what bothers me.. it doesn't even get that hot anyone. It bothers me that one of my core is at 100% making audio and other stuff slow and glitchy.

    You can see the CPU is not even running at max speed. It is being throttled so it would not disintegrate. When you go turn off SPeedStep it'll get whole lot hotter as the speed is no longer reduced in such a condition :P

    But this seriously doesn't happen until those processes start taking up CPU usage like crazy. Under normal circumstances, my laptop does not get hot. I can even feel with no problem the airflow coming out of it. But after some (I think) arbitrary time (It really seems to be random), "Interrupts" starting sucking on CPU power and that's when it gets hot because of that. And again, same happens on Linux, except on Linux it's "kworker" who does this. I've discovered that putting it into sleep and turning it back on seems to temporarily fix the problem...

    Did you try cleaning it and changing the thermal paste?

    No, because I thought the problem was actually having these processes taking up CPU usage and heating things up.
