Some said it was caused by Spotlight indexing everything. It ended up returning normal for me when I updated a printer driver. I'm not sure if it was actually the culprit, but after the restart, my computer was back to normal. This used to happen to my 2ghz 2gb ram macbook.

Did the same in Tiger - gets as hot as mid 70-degrees Celcius before fans kick on though. My MacBook Pro gets really hot when running YouTube/flash videos.

I have the same laptop with 2GB of ram and it does the same thing. If you watch flash video usually after 30 seconds the fans go full speed. it is very annoying as almost all video on the web is flash. I have tried that latest flash updates and it made no difference. It did it for me in Tiger also. From what I gather, it may be because of the lack of a dedicated video card. When I said it was normal above I meant it happens to us all. I do not think it SHOULD be normal. This is normal. I have the same laptop with 2GB of ram and it does the same thing.

Had this problem too, it was a combination rosetta and the shockwave plugin. Make sure safari or firefox isn’t running in rosetta (get info -> open using rosetta).

Firefox is the culprit from checking the activity monitor, but it was never this bad before. I should note that I upgraded from 512, but never had these many problems with Tiger.

Came back and the unit was dead, Apple Genius confirmed that the motherboard needed to be replaced. 3 weeks out of warrantee. :( Another datapoint: I installed Leopard on my 1.66Ghz Mini and went to do a backup for the first time.

I haven't noticed heat issues. It doesn't seem to get any louder or hotter but I have noticed it takes longer to boot up. I have the exact same MacBook configuration. I haven’t noticed heat issues.
