I recently installed BOOTCAMP on my MacBook Pro and also installed Microsoft Windows 7. I choose to use Windows 7 on startup by holding down the “alt” key as soon as you power it on until the BOOTCAMP selection screen comes up. You can then choose to boot Mac OS X or Windows 7.<\/p>\n
I was watching videos on Windows Media Player and the CPU seemed to be working at about 89% and the CPU temp was getting very high about the same and then the laptop would freeze the video and freeze completely. You then had to reboot using the Mac Power Button on the actual notebook.<\/p>\n
I could not hear the fan working on Windows 7 and I could also feel the underneath of the Mac getting very hot! and no the vents were not blocked.<\/p>\n
I would also like to state that I used an application on the Mac called smcFanControl. I wacked the RPM up to\u00a0 6200RPM. I then rebooted the notebook into windows 7. If you reboot you can keep the CPU fan running at 6200RPM if you shutdown the fan will not be running at that rpm.
\nSo I then booted up Windows 7 and watched another video again in Windows Media Player to find out that if did exactly the same thing again. It seemed to be over heating but maybe its the Graphics chip that was over heating or maybe not enough memory is being used by BOOTCAMP for Windows 7. I dont actually know.<\/p>\n
What I do know is once I updated Windows 7 on Windows Update and also installed the BOOTCAMP update to 3.3 and then rebooted this solved the issue. So maybe it was to do with BOOTCAMP or a Windows Update on the drivers.<\/p>\n
Im just glad I can use Windows 7 now with no crashing and overheating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
