Whenever I run the 7Sage page on my Mac laptop it seems to randomly heat my computer up to the point where the fans are running at full speed and the laptop is hot to the touch. At first I thought it was caused by something else, so I spent some time clearing up memory, checking browser extensions, "turn it off and back on again", etc. The problem kept occurring, but only when I was on the 7Sage website working through the lessons. If I exit 7Sage, the laptop fans slow down and the internal temperature drops back down again almost instantly.
Just wondering if anyone else out there with a Mac laptop has this happen to them on the 7Sage page, and if so, is it normal? Do you know how to get my laptop to calm down?
Thanks in advance! :)
Thanks for all the responses! It is a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) with a 2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, OS version 10.12.4. I recently cleaned out a bunch of useless files, freeing up more memory (which seems to have helped some), then when I accessed the Activity Monitor while using 7Sage on Google Chrome it showed a huge portion of the CPU was being used by "Google Chrome Helper" (not quite sure why, going to investigate how to get rid of that).
I seem to have better luck using Firefox, but it will still randomly turn the fans on full blast and have a little "freak out", then after a few minutes it quiets down and goes back to normal.
I've made sure that all other applications/programs are closed while running 7Sage, as having anything else open really heats my Mac up.
Thanks for all your help! It seems to have 90% solved the problem. :smiley:
I think my laptop will live on! :blush:
