Can you take a snapshot of 'system monitor - processes' to see what is causing this? :D

Hi, I think the biggest resource hogs appear to be compiz, nautilus, evolution calendar, and zeitgeist - of interest it appears that you are running as 'guest' - not as your user - this could have some influence, I may be wrong but you will not be able to stop any processes running whilst being logged on as 'guest'. I would see what happens when you choose to login with 'Zorin Desktop (no effects)' which you choose at point of login by clicking on the 'cog':

You can't really stop Nautilus as that would stop your Window Manager - also evolution bits are embedded in the system for Date and Time function (having researched the issue on various ubuntuesque forums. I believe Wolfman wrote a post on how to remove Zeitgeist.

Hope this helps! :D

In the mean time..
If you haven't done so already....
Go to your bios setup and make sure you powerer related settings such as the fan are set to [ auto ]
After class this morning...I'll go over to our shop...and see if I have one of those in the closet.
In a situation like yours...I like having the computer front of me to see what malfuctions [ Scenerio ]
