All out cpu+ super high heat+all out fans due to dashboard?

ok heres what happened, my external drives got accidentally disconnected and causes a Kernel panic (its due to a softraid driver issue). so then when i rebooted my mirror raid was out of sync.
at this point my machine tried to start rebuilding it, tried to index my spot light, along with the basic starting up settling ins. i hit my dashboard and nothing loaded, i pulled up activity monitor and most of my dashboard widgets were running super high and non responsive.
after a few restarts, with stopping the rebuild which let the indexing finish in a reasonable time, i was able to actually interact with my DB, most of the items still wouldnt load and still were running high. the only way i could get it to stop was to remove the widget and the pull up a new one, so basically i just dumped them all and rebuilt my dashboard.
after that it stopped, never had the issue before (hadnt changed my dashboard for at least 4-6 months) never experienced this before at all and havent had it come back. any body have this or have any idea why it would have happened (it lasted through a few restarts so it wasnt just a random runaway process)

Sorry for ignoring you, S.U. I haven't been checking posts since I'm not having any problems right now, but I had some free time at work and decided to check to see what was going on at iBooks.
I put my iBook on a board that's about 3/8" thick and 10" x 15". I started doing that so the computer's on a level surface, and because I didn't like my lap getting warm from the heat of the computer. I never heard of a chill mat. The temperature's down quite a bit now, but if we have another heat wave next year I'll try to remember to elevate the iBook with something - perhaps saved screw caps from milk jugs.
I really couldn't tell you if my fan has been coming on lately. It has in the past, but I haven't been paying attention to what the fan's been doing recently. I'll try to remember to notice if I hear fan noises when I next get a chance to do some writing.
Thank you for your suggestions. I'll mark your post as "helpful" since you have tried to help me, and your ideas may be useful if more problems come along.

  • CPU runs high and spikes out of control.

    Since the last couple updates firefox 11 & 12 have been pushing my cpu through the roof up to 103 at times then going way down then up to 30 to 60 erratically. I tested all of my add ons and my extensions and it still does it with all of them disabled and in safe mode. I tried changing the about:config-
    browser.sessionstore.interval - The default value is 10000. Change it to 30000.
    I installed Flashblock. I emptied the cache. I don't know what else to do. It keeps revving up my MBP and it gets so hot I smell it. I tested a few sites to see what makes it spike and Laist.com is one that it happens to I don't know why. Sometimes it won't even do it. I hate to abandon firefox but I don't want it to ruin my computer. Please any suggestions to why this is happening
    Thanks

    If you create a new profile, open Firefox using that, don't make changes but just test surfing, does it still happen?

  • How do i find out what is taking up all  of my gb on my iphone 4

    I do i find out what is taking up all of my gb on my iphone 4? I have deleated all of my pictures, music, and games. There is nothing left in the usuage column to deleate but it says i have used 3.8. Where is it hiding?

    What is using 3.8GB of space?
    If looking at the summary tab in iTunes, what specifically is taking up space?
    If looking in Settings > General > About on the device, what specifically is taking up space?
    You have the device in front of you, so you can determine what is taking up space.  We only have the information provided by the user to go on.

  • I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

    i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

    They said I need to change my settings to NAT settings. I haven't been able to figure out or find anything. I have also spoken to Apple Support on the phone for hours without being able to figure out how to do this ( i don't think he knew much either lol.) Please help me because I've got about 15-20 devices in my house that require to be connected to the internet and this is just making things ridiculously slow and painful for me.
    Thanks!

    It is on DHCP & NAT under router mode yet my isp is still the one issuing ip addresses to my devices instead of the router issuing them

    Hello! It is my understanding that you need to add the individual files to the Source Code Control along with the .lvproj file.
    Here is a great deal of information on Source Code Control Practices in LabVIEW.

  • My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures ...

    My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures. I´ve used the printer, since it was new on the marked, and it has worked perfectly until a few weeks back. There is no problem printing out pictures, but only blank pages comes out when I´m printing out documents. Regardless if it is Word, Excel etc.
    I´ve never used anything else than original cartridges, and the printer is used on Mac OS X 10.7.4. I´ve tried to reinstall the printer several times without any success.
    Can anyone help me?

  • How to find out if a string is all alphabets

    Hi,
    How can I find out if a string contains all alphabets? Please help. Thanks.

    Hi,
    How can I find out if a string contains all
    all alphabets? Please help. Thanks. I am not sure if there's easier way. But this code should do what you want:
    boolean bAlpha = true;
    for (int i=0; i<str.length; i++)
    if (!Character.isLetter(str.charAt(i))){
    bAlpha = false;
    break;
    //bAlpha is true if str contains only alphabets.

  • For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

    Greetings Heather,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,
